“Bossey continues to be the ecumenical laboratory where scholarship and community life are woven together in an environment dedicated to mutual understanding, theological depth, and intercultural enrichment,” said Rev. Fr. Dr Lawrence Iwuamadi, incoming academic dean of the Ecumenical Institute.
Four distinct study options are available:
- Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Ecumenical Studies – A one-semester program (25 ECTS) combining a core course on the history of the ecumenical movement, workshops in biblical and theological studies, thematic seminars, and study visits.
- Complementary Certificate in Ecumenical Studies (CC) – A more extensive program (30 ECTS), allowing students to deepen their knowledge with additional modules in fields such as ecumenical missiology, social ethics, theology, or biblical hermeneutics.
- Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Ecumenical Studies – A full-year program (60 ECTS) that includes research methodology, supervised fellowship, research workshops, and a thesis, in addition to the core courses and seminars. The MAS is designed for students preparing for advanced academic, ecclesial, or interfaith leadership roles.
- Intensive English Summer Course (EC) – Held prior to the academic year, this course supports students who wish to strengthen their English proficiency for ecumenical study and dialogue. Courses are tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
“Bringing together women and men from diverse Christian traditions and cultures, the Institute continues faithfully its mission offering advanced study and formation based on meaningful community life. Here, scholarship and fellowship unite in the pursuit of theological depth and mutual understanding,” added Iwuamadi.
Applications are open to students from around the world with a background in theology, religious studies, or related fields. Admission is selective and places are limited.
Application deadline: 30 November 2025
