Religious education in Poland and Germany

Cooperation of the Catholic Theologian Faculty of Torun University (Poland) and the Institute of Protestant Theologiy and Religious Education of Oldenburg University.

This cooperation sees itself as part of the cooperation project between the two universities. It's been implemented through two conferences

Joint projects between the two institutions are taken into consideration in two-year intervals. For the summer term 2010 an ecumenical project in connection with a joint visit of the Ecumenical Church Congress in Munich is planned.

The University of Torun can also be selected for a semester abroad. Although the faculty offers a few English courses, it is recommended to acquire Polish language skills well in advance, e.g. offered in professional study courses by the Oldenburg language centre​​.
