University of Stellenbosch Theology Courses

The Faculty of Theology (established in 1963) developed out of the Theological Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) that was founded in 1859. The Faculty trains ministers and youth workers, per agreement, for the DRC, Uniting Reformed Church (URC) in Southern Africa, the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (UPCSA); and the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA).

The academic offering, with Christian Reformed theology as point of departure, has been broadened with the incorporation of a Youth Work programme and the development of a new curriculum which offers a wide range of options for undergraduate students regarding teaching and research. The variety of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes of the Faculty accommodates students from various communities, churches and countries.

The Faculty of Theology is the smallest faculty at the University. It is, however, a hospitable, energetic and creative faculty in which scientific theology is practised with integrity.

Language of instruction

Undergraduate classes are conducted bilingually, in English and Afrikaans (T specification), according to the language competency of the students
