Welcome

Welcome to the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Graz. On this page we have put together some helpful information to make it easier for you to start your studies so that you can have an exciting time.

Where to study? The UZT - University Centre for Theology
Courses take place in seminar rooms and lecture halls in the UZT at Heinrichstraße 78.
Here you will also find the offices of the professors and research assistants or the
office managers of the individual institutes. There is also a meditation room on the 2nd floor.

Studying together - living together
Your theology degree should be more than just a long series of lectures and exams; it should also offer space to spend time together with like-minded people, to discuss and celebrate.

The Austrian Students' Union for Theology (ÖH) helps with questions about studying and is a point of contact for those seeking advice. It represents students in faculty and university committees.

The Theozentrum is a place of study-related training for all those who aspire to a career in the Catholic
Church of Styria in pastoral care or schools as religious education teachers. It also offers
a variety of events and activities, e.g. the centre day with joint
midday prayer and lunch.

Also just a few minutes away is the KHG - Catholic University Community in Leechgasse.
As a meeting place between the church and universities of the Graz-Seckau diocese, it offers an interesting programme and is an ideal place to network with people interested in culture and social issues in Graz. The KHG also has its own student residence in Leechgasse and rooms in the premises of the seminary.

The House of Encounter of the Benedictine Abbey of Admont in Johann-Fux-Gasse offers students
access to a lively community.

Food for the soul
Every Monday at lunchtime during the academic year, the Monday praise service organised jointly
with students takes place on the premises of the UZT (meditation room on the 2nd floor).
The faculty church services, which take place at the start
and end of the semester or on important feast days, provide a festive setting for the academic year.
Every Wednesday at 18:00 during the semester, students are cordially invited to the student church service
in the Leechkirche.

but also funds from the social fund, from which support can be granted on application.
