Join the doctorate to make your original contribution to the field of practical theology. Focused on research, the program aims to train researchers open to interdisciplinarity, capable of carrying out high-level research in the university, private or public sectors. It also makes it possible to train professionals in relevant sectoral fields. 

At the crossroads of theological reflection and action sciences, practical theology implements a sociocultural and religious analysis of practices or environments. This disciplinary field requires critical reflection leading to a relevant intervention strategy and its integration in different environments.

This program is aimed at pastoral workers, as well as Christian workers already involved in the field or who are moving into it. It is also aimed at anyone who wishes to develop a method of intervention and reflection appropriate to pastoral care or Christian action today, who seeks to develop pastoral skills according to their environment, who seeks to reflect or take stock of his action.
