We facilitate life-affirming values by seeking to teach theologies that are constructive, critical, relevant, contextual and engaging. By studying at UP’s Faculty of Theology and Religion, you will undertake quality, collaborative, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research. We will create a space for differing epistemologies, inter-religious dialogue and new technologies so you can engage in the critical reading of texts from religious, historical and life experiences.
Our main mission is to nurture transformative leaders that serve the academia, faith-communities and society as a whole by promoting justice, peace, integrity and ultimately reconciling diversity in order to let human life flourish in Africa.
