This program is designed as an academic graduate program with the emphasis on developing students theological insights so that they can comprehend theology contextually and independently. The goal of the M.Th. program is to develop Indonesian Christian theology which is interdenominational, evangelical, contextual and rooted in the bible, open-minded toward dialog with the traditions of other religions, sensitive toward actual problems being faced by the churches and Indonesian society, and responsive toward the opportunities and challenges in the globalization phenomena in this 21st century.

This program can be completed in two or three years full time. The M.Th. degree is given to the students who have completed 45 credits including nine credits for the thesis. The main theme of M.Th. program is "Theology in the Indonesian context" which is spelled out in a curriculum with five areas of concentrations: Biblical Theology, Social Theology, Practical Theology, Religious studies, and the History of Church.

Every year the M.Th. program chooses a student to do a three-month research in Amsterdam in the "Bridging Gap" program that is cooperative program with Free University.

In the field of teaching and research, this M.Th. program cooperates with State Institute for Islamic Studies Sunan Kalijaga (now Islamic State University/UIN) and Sanata Dharma University.

Class Room

Magister of Ministry Department

The dynamic and complex changes on our current society require the servants of God to continuously improve their professionalism. Magister of Ministry (M.Min) is a professional program that provides opportunities to priests, church activists, and other Christian institutions to deepen and refresh their services. They can join this program without having to leave their jobs for a long time. The specific characteristic of this program is its emphasis on, one side the theological reflection of their current services and on the other side, the practical explanation of the theological concepts being learned. Because of this emphasis, the field service done at their own workplaces is an important part of this program. This program is handled by permanent lecturers of Duta Wacana Christian University including doctors and visiting lecturers.

This program offers three areas of concentrations: Church and Religious Traditions, Practical Christian Ethics, Pastoral and Contemporary Service Management.
