The Superior Institute of Religious Sciences Mater Ecclesiae, connected to the Faculty of Theology of the PUST, is a school of theological training where one trains to think about faith, to exercise believing reason. Since the commitment to think, to love, to hope is necessarily exercised in harmony with the places and times in which believers live the human and religious experience, the Mater Ecclesiae Institute is attentive to the need to give a universal breath to the activity of Training; this is guaranteed by the international character of the staff of the Institute's teachers and students. The Mater Ecclesiae is interested in current or frontier religious and cultural issues, in order to foster mutual understanding between Christians, between them and those belonging to other religions, between believers and people who are in search of the truth. Therefore, in addition to the courses provided for the formation of men and women religious, catechists, pastoral workers, courses of ongoing formation and/or theological-pastoral updating, or of an intercultural or interreligious nature, are offered.

ISSR Mater Ecclesiae

All those who have obtained an Ecclesiastical Baccalaureate in Philosophy and who wish to obtain the degree of Licentiate must attend the second cycle which has a duration of two years (120 credits). For students who do not have preparation equivalent to the Baccalaureate level, it is expected to include a greater number of courses in their study plan. The second cycle was conceived specifically to allow students to reach specialization through the in-depth study of the philosophical thought of St. Thomas Aquinas (including its application to contemporary philosophical debates), of its historical roots and influences, which underlie the philosophical teaching of the Faculty. In order to have a better approach to the original writings of St. Thomas, to his philosophical sources, and to the subsequent Thomistic tradition, students of the second cycle must necessarily have a good knowledge of Latin. In addition to the courses, for the attainment of the degree of Licentiate, it is also necessary to write a paper of at least 50 pages, to be drawn up under the direction of a professor of the Faculty.
