Bachelor in Licence - Théologie

Tuition fees are 178 EUR per year.

Theology as an academic field involves the systematic study of religious thought, texts, traditions, and their historical evolution across centuries and communities. Courses examine the doctrines, scriptures, and liturgical practices of Christianity alongside philosophy of religion, church history, biblical hermeneutics, and ethics. Depending on the programme's orientation, comparative engagement with other world religions may also feature. Students develop skills in textual interpretation, critical historical analysis, and philosophical reasoning through extended reading and written commentary. This bachelor's programme (Licence — Théologie) is offered at the Université de Lorraine — UFR Sciences Humaines et Sociales — at the Metz campus in France. The degree lasts 3 years from September, with instruction conducted entirely in French. Annual tuition is 178 EUR. Graduates are equipped for roles in religious communities, chaplaincy services, education, cultural heritage, and social organisations. Some move into pastoral ministry, religious publishing, or chaplaincy within schools, prisons, hospitals, or the military. Academic careers in theology or religious studies are pursued through doctoral research. The interpretive, critical thinking, and writing skills cultivated through theological study also transfer to careers in law, ethics consultancy, publishing, and public service, broadening the professional range available to graduates. Metz, as a historically significant city at the crossroads of French and German religious and cultural traditions, provides a rich local context that complements the study of theology and its social dimensions.
