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.

After consulting with the Dean regarding the choice of topic and moderator of the licentiate dissertation, the student must:

  • in May of the first year of the Licentiate, submit to the Registrar the title of the dissertation using the form correctly filled out and signed by the moderator;
  • in April of the second year of the Licentiate, submit to the Registrar in hard copy and digital format the completed dissertation, with the anti-plagiarism declaration and the moderator’s approval form correctly completed and signed by the moderator himself.
