*Theology Seminar

Theology courses are seminars in religious studies that explore religious and ethical topics from an academic and cultural viewpoint, promoting thoughtful discussion across diverse traditions.
The programme prepares you for careers in sectors where innovation drives strategic decisions—such as science-based startups, large ICT companies, digital technology providers, and energy firms. 

It also prepares you to make a difference in more traditional industries, where innovation is becoming essential for growth and competitiveness. These include textiles and clothing, furniture, agri-food, banking, insurance, healthcare, public administration, and general manufacturing. 

You will gain the tools to support change, lead innovation processes, and contribute to new business creation.
