Bologna credit system

In the academic year 2006/2007 we have prepared the Bologna credit system to be aligned with all theological universities in the Carpathian Basin which in turn allowed the students to move from one institution to another without difficulty.

The curriculum in training ministers in the theological tertiary institutions of the Carpathian Basin (located at Budapest, Debrecen, Kolozsvár, Pápa, Sárospatak) is a unified one based on the resolution 1940/275 of the Convent. The PRTA, accordingly, adopted the same academic requirements and examinations as per the system used by the theological universities of Budapest and Debrecen. This secured for our students the opportunity of student mobility.

In 1998 the theological training has commenced in the framework of a 10 semester degree, which since 2000 is a 12 semester course for those who wish to be ministers of the church. The Hungarian Accreditation Board (MAB) in their resolution 2006/9/XII accredited the previous 10 and 12 semester courses to be unified, undivided MA degrees (10 and 12 semesters).

Therefore according to the decision of the Senate of PRTA – decreed in agreement with the Transdanubian (Dunántúli) Diocese of the Reformed Church of Hungary – the Seminary trains theologians and ministers within the framework of the unified, undivided MA degree as of the 1st of September 2006.
