Stockholm School of Theology /Teologiska högskolan Stockholm, (THS), provides graduate education (Bachelor´s degrees) in both a Theology and a Human Rights programme. Through cooperation agreements with other universities in the Nordic countries, THS also provides post-graduate studies through courses as well as supervision of theses. It is the major provider of religious and human rights education in the Stockholm region.
In full-time as well as part-time courses Stockholm School of Theology gives training to some 500-600 students annually. The School receives students with a variety of denominational and non-denominational backgrounds, in a climate of academic rigour, international exposure, and challenging issues.
Most courses are in Swedish, but occasionally courses or seminars are offered in the English language, according to need and interest. A wide network of international academic and other institutional contacts gives a resource-base for international exchange for the School’s students and professors, as well as for a flow of international guests, students and visiting scholars.
Stockholm School of Theology is a non-governmental university college owned by a Foundation established by three Swedish Churches – the Swedish Mission Covenant Church, the Baptist Union of Sweden, and the United Methodist Church of Sweden. A significant number of professional students are candidates for the priesthood in the Swedish Lutheran Church. It attracts students from the Stockholm region as well as nationally.
Located in Bromma, a few kilometres from the centre Stockholm, and close to the Castle of Åkeshof and its national reserve, THS is a place for intensive studies and reflection. In addition, within a few minutes’ walk, there are convenient connections to downtown Stockholm via the Metro system.
Further information about THS in English is provided in the School’s brochure, which can be downloaded as a pdf-file, see left-hand column of this page.
