The program enables students to competently address a wide range of issues related to their specialization.

This Master´s Degree is designed as an initiation to research, in each of the fields of study, according to the theological methodology required by each area. In particular, we examine a broad area of knowledge of Catholic doctrine, taken from Sacred Scripture and Tradition, in order to present more clearly the mystery of Christ in response to the great contemporary cultural movements. Particular importance is given to border issues, interdisciplinary themes and topical subjects, always taking into account the richness of the Christian Tradition.

The student concentrates his or her interest on a more specific field of study within the various areas of Catholic Theology.

AIMED AT

• Those who have completed the Undergraduate Bachelor´s Degree in Theology, or its equivalent, and who wish to deepen their knowledge of the fundamental contents of Theology, The Sacred Scripture, Morals, Spirituality and the History of the Church.

• Future professors of Theology, Exegesis, Moral Doctrine, History of the Church, Spirituality in Diocesan Seminars and Centers for Theological Studies.

• Lay people committed to catechetical training and pastoral accompaniment of individuals and communities.

• Trainers or future trainers of priests, male or female religious, and members of secular institutes and other Christian communities.

• Priests, religious or lay people who will minister in pastoral areas where specific moral and practical knowledge is required.

• Those who wish to deal, in a competent manner, with common situations in Christian and ecclesiastical life that call for a moral and practical response based on academic rigor and knowledge of the contributions of other theological disciplines.

METHODOLOGYThe program harmoniously combines different methodologies to achieve optimal learning by the student: class lectures, interpretation and commentary on carefully selected texts (Biblical, traditional, Magisterium, contemporary authors, etc.), presentations in class, debates and colloquia for deepening of knowledge and discourse.

CONTENTS AND PROGRAM STRUCTURE

REASONS TO STUDY THIS PROGRAM AT COMILLAS

• Training is not only theoretical, but is also eminently practical.

• Courses are taught by professors and researchers of recognized prestige with positions of responsibility in Ecclesiastical Courts.

AIMED AT

This specialization is mainly oriented to lawyers and civil solicitors, who intend to practice professionally in Ecclesiastical Courts, as well as to students who are in their third year of studies, or a higher course, of a Degree in Law Faculties. However, individuals with a Bachelor’s Degree, Undergraduate Diploma, or Bachelor’s Degree in Theology who wish to be trained in this area may also be admitted, especially with a view to collaborating in the Ecclesiastical Courts (psychologists, psychiatrists or others interested from related areas).

OBJECTIVES

The studies intend to enable lawyers to act professionally in the Ecclesiastical Courts. As this is a social and professional function in demand, the Faculty of Canon Law attempts to offer rigorous and systematic university-level preparation in this field, helping to train canon lawyers with in-depth knowledge of the subject. This is enhanced with an eminently practical approach to the discipline, which includes the analysis and study of canonical jurisprudence and the carrying out of procedural internships. This degree allows the

individual to be authorized to practice as a lawyer in Ecclesiastical Courts, insofar as it guarantees the necessary expertise in Canon Law, required by the code for the admission of professionals to the list of lawyers of the Ecclesiastical Court.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT

Exercise of the legal profession and the procuracy in the Ecclesiastical Courts, as well as intervention in the courts as psychologists or psychiatrists (with previous qualification in these professions).
