The Doctorate takes place in an environment of rigorous scholarly inquiry within a research community and under the competent guidance of a Professor.

In the Cursus ad doctoratum, students begin a process in which additional courses and the expertise of Professors allow the candidate to specify a topic and choose a Moderator. The University offers the rich resources of the Library and an ambient of concentration to encourage in-depth study of the topic considered and thus contribute to the progress of theological science.

The Doctoral School offers all doctoral students seminars and meetings on various topics to guide their scientific research and ensure a solid intellectual formation.
