Career perspectives
Career perspectives
Religion is increasingly acknowledged as a crucial factor in areas such as politics and the economy, social and corporate
management, culture, employment, education, health care, international cooperation, and conflict resolution.
Candidates for positions in these areas, in the private or public sector, as well as those already employed, will benefit from
gaining a topical knowledge in the field.
Graduates can further develop their education at the Faculty of Canon Law through by moving on to the Master in Canon
Law or the doctoral programme in Society, Law and Religion.
With the apostolic constitution Veritatis Gaudium, new opportunities were created for people who are open for a more
condensed training in canon law. In the future they will be able to take on certain tasks for the ecclesiastical courts.
During your bachelor's and master's programme you can already shape your own profile by choosing a certain
specialisation, studying abroad (Erasmus), doing a work placement, or starting your own business.
The Student Career Centre is happy to put you on the right track towards your first work experience. The centre also

Objectives
1. Students are conversant in Roman Catholic Canon law and the law practised by other Christian denominations. They
are capable of interpreting and applying the norms of canon law in specific circumstances. In addition, depending on the
situation, they are able to identify the norms of canon law applicable to these particular circumstances.
2. Students acquire basic knowledge of the main disciplines of theology and the history of canon law, which serve as the
reference frameworks within which the sources of canon law are interpreted.
3. Students are able to independently master the programme’s contents and apply these to specific questions or issues.
4. Students acknowledge the fact that the law is influenced by culture and religion, and that it evolves over time. During
the programme, students come face to face with fellow students who have religious and cultural backgrounds different
than their own: this contributes to the student’s general education.
5. Students acquire technical expertise that, depending on their selection, consists of acquiring the skill to understand and
interpret the Code of Canon Law (option 2A), or of mastering the method or content of other disciplines (option 2B).
6. Students acquire a preliminary understanding of the complex problems present in the interplay between secular law
and human rights on the one hand, and public perception of religion on the other.
7. Within their field of expertise, students are able to identify new questions and challenges, are able to arrive at creative,
well-founded solutions to these, and translate them into appropriate, relevant research questions.
8. Students are capable of personally and critically contemplating complex issues within their field of expertise. They are
able to translate these into appropriate, relevant research questions and gather relevant academic sources in this respect.
They are able to develop and conduct a research project.
9. Students are able to conduct academic research and present it in written form.
