    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    The research seminar is particularly aimed at students who are planning or already working on a diploma thesis or dissertation on topics related to the theology and history of the Christian East (Orthodox, Oriental, and Catholic Eastern Churches). Through presentation and discussion, the aim is to place one's own scientific work in the context of subject-specific methodological guidelines. The aim is to practise formulating research questions and to supplement or deepen aspects. The seminar is also open to anyone interested in Eastern Church topics and discourses.
