Stockholm School of Theology
There are three study programmes at the Stockholm School of Theology (THS), one in cooperation with Uppsala University. All programmes are validated by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (Högskoleverket). The programmes are open to those who want to pursue the full programme, as well as to those who want to take individual courses. Courses usually run over a period of ten weeks and some of them take place in the evenings. Since its establishment in 1993, the Stockholm School of Theology has developed into one of the leading schools of its kind in the country in education and research. The campus of THS is situated in Bromma, close to a nature reserve and within walking distance of the metro at Brommaplan. The premises are modern and comfortable and the library is large and well stocked.
THS makes every effort to employ teachers who are pedagogically skilled and who are at the frontline of research in their fields. There are approximately 200 students registered at THS. As a result of good international contacts there are many opportunities for the students to carry out field studies or pursue longer periods of studies in other parts of the world.
To be admitted to a programme or an individual course at the school, fluency in Swedish is required.
The Stockholm School of Theology offers no scholarships.
