Theological education for the Dutch Reformed Church differs from any other teaching at the University. In all other professions a student, at the end of his studies, decides where he wants to practice his profession: On his own, in a partnership, as an employee of the state or in a public company.
Our theological education is different, because from the outset the Church is involved with the student, as indeed the student is trained for ministry in a particular church. The Curatorium (governing body) therefore has an ongoing direct interest in the University, the lecturers and the students.
The Dutch Reformed Church has partnered with the University of Pretoria since 1937 in the training of ministers. Division B of the Faculty had been responsible for the Dutch Reformed Church’s training until 2000. Since then theological training in die Faculty has become multi-ecclesiastical, but with the Dutch Reformed Church still very much involved as a church partner with the PPCSA, the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk and URCSA.
