Goals:

Bachelor in Religious Sciences (BRS) graduates, who lack two-year training in philosophy, are not eligible to apply for the Licentiate in Theology (LT) Programme. In view of this, the Seminary College offers the Preparatory Course to LT (Philosophy) to BRS graduates so that they can fulfill the entrance requirements of the LT Programme.

Academic Year:

The academic year lasts from the beginning of September until the end of May. The break between the semesters is from Christmas to mid-January.
Class periods are of 50 minutes’ duration. 28 class periods are equivalent to 3.5 ECTS credits.
Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15 p.m. to 9 p.m., and on Saturdays from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. If needed, classes may also be arranged on other dates.

Length of Study:

The programme is of two years full-time or four years part-time. Students may study the whole programme or take individual courses.

Entrance Requirements:

Admission is open to BRS graduates who have obtained the qualifications of entry into a (recognized) university in Hong Kong or equivalent. Any exception to this norm will be made by the Admissions Committee set up by the Seminary College President.
