The two-year (four semesters) Master’s Programme in Philosophy aims at providing a comprehensive synthesis of various philosophical disciplines to develop a critical and analytical approach to all major areas of human inquiry. The primary philosophical subjects are presented in such a way as to give the students a harmonious view of the humans, the world and God, based on the heritage of perennially valid philosophies in the East and the West.

There is an incessant search in human being for the Truth, which sets them free.  People are found restless until they take refuge in God, who takes them beyond the boundaries of unreality, darkness, and death.

This thirst of the people are on the increase, in spite of the comfort they enjoy today more than ever before.  Thus, the encounter of God or experience of God is urgent for our times in order to orientate human life in a holistic perspective, for human being is an embodied spirit.

Theology would invite students to addresses the burning issues of plurality of religions, diversity of cultures, and economic poverty of people.

This Postgraduate Programme in THEOLOGY would enlighten, enrich, and empower people to be in touch with God, world, and people, which will bring wholeness, fullness, and holiness in life.   In other words, it is to help people celebrate their life in the world in the company of God and the fellow beings.

"Socrates was the first to call philosophy down from the heavens and to place it in cities and even to introduce it into homes and compel it to enquire about life and standards and good and ill" (Cicero).
