The Faculty of Theology of Trnava University in Trnava is based in Bratislava. It develops theological, humanistic, biblical and historical education as well as counseling. It is an academic environment where scholarship is connected with research, practice, dialogue and a deeper understanding of the human person.
The Faculty builds on the theological and university tradition of Trnava University while seeking a language that can speak clearly about faith, values, the human person and society today.
