The 4 (BA) + 2 (MA) years of study include theoretical as well as practical training in pastoral theology. Concerning the practical part, the academic curriculum includes regular courses focusing on practical instruction already from the very first year of study, receiving increasingly more focus with the MA. Apart from the regular curriculum, the summer period also includes 4 weeks of practice in various church- related facilities (congregations, etc.) usually beside a well-established mentor.
