Studium Generale - A year to change your life!

At the age when most students begin their studies, big questions need to be answered by each individual, like:

  • Who am I as a human person and as a unique personality?
  • What strengths and weaknesses, what character do I have?
  • What have I learned so far in my life, what has influenced me?
  • What do I want to develop, what studies should I choose?
  • How can I find and live my vocation?
  • Whom should I serve in my life - and how?
  • Where is my place in the Church?

In a word: orientation is needed!

Our Studium Generale program offers a broad liberal arts formation in the classical, Judeo-Christian and especially Catholic traditions. It is the best basis for any further and specialized studies - an academic training that is not merely academic, but also helps to develop the whole person; the human and spiritual dimensions as well as academic skills. The Studium Generale forms the student as a person and as a Christian.
