Pontifical Oriental Institute

Eastern Christian Studies

The Faculty of Eastern Christian Studies is subdivided into three sections: theological-patristic, liturgical, and historical.

After completing the Bachelor’s Degree in Theology (first cycle), students are admitted to the Licentiate (S.E.O.L.). Those who hold a Bachelor’s Degree in History may enroll in the Licentiate in the history section.

After completing the Licentiate (second cycle), students can enroll in the Doctoral program (S.E.O.D.).

Those interested in deepening a specific area or in having a general knowledge of the Christian East can enroll in the program of the Diploma in Eastern Christian Studies.

At the end of each course, in order for the student to acquire the corresponding credits, the respective examination is scheduled.

Registration for the exam is possible only if the student has attended at least two-thirds of the classes.

There are two regular exam sessions: (i) at the end of the first semester of the academic year, and (ii) at the end of the second semester. No one may take an exam outside of these times without the written authorization of the Dean.
