Admissions

Questions prior to Entering DWCU

The starting point for someone in entering the real life is when he/she finishes his/her senior high school. Together with his/her parents, they start questioning the uncertainty of the future, not knowing what will happen then. The wrong step will make him/her lost, but the right one will lead him/her to the light of life.

Senior High School graduates face a kind of mystery when they have to continue their study to the university. That is why it is better for them to question themselves from the very beginning. "Do I enter university just to follow the tradition?" or "Do I enter university because I want to be a mature human being?" All Senior High School Graduates have to answer those questions.

People often take for granted that studying at the university is a logical step after someone graduates from Senior High School. Therefore, they just go to the university after finishing their Senior High School without having any basic or revolutionary motive.

We have to be apprehensive about it. In fact, University like Duta Wacana Christian University is very enthusiastic in educating the new generation of independent and trustworthy professionals who have strong and qualified personality as well as broad knowledge. They are also prepared to be skillful, mature and reliable.

Theology Faculty

The Faculty of Theology is the faculty that deals with spiritual and contextual nuance. Learning how human being can have relationship with God and make reflection about the relationship, Human beings can not free themselves from their era context. That is why Theology will always be contextual.

The Faculty of Theology educates its students to be able to comprehend theology contextually and become the independent and outstanding servants of God. To achieve this objective, in addition to lecturers and discussion in class, the students also have to do the real practice. Based on the result of the admission test, each accepted student has to follow remedial program for two semesters during which they have to stay in the dormitory.

Under Graduate Department

The Undergraduate Program of the Theology is led by Masters and Doctors from qualified Theology Institutions in Indonesia and abroad (England, Holland, the United States of America, South Korea, Australia, etc.). Besides that, some expatriate lecturers also actively teach some courses in the Undergraduate Program of The Faculty of Theology.

Post Graduate

M.Th program, which was opened in 1991, has had more that 90 graduate until the end of 2004. This program is designed as an academic graduate program with the emphasis on developing students theological insights so that they can comprehend theology contextually and independently. The goal of M.Th program is to develop Indonesian Christian Theology which is interdenominational, evangelical, contextual and rooted in the bible, open minded toward having dialog with the traditions of other religions, sensitive toward actual problems being faced by the churches and Indonesian society, also responsive toward the opportunities and challenges in the globalization phenomena in this 21st century.

The admission of new students is held every semester. This program can be completed in 2 or 3 years full time. The M.Th degree is given to the students who have completed 45 credits including 9 credits for the thesis.

In the field of teaching and research, this M.Th. program cooperate with State Institute for Islamic Studies Sunan Kalijaga (now Islamic State University/UIN) and Sanata Dharma University.

The dynamic and complex changes on our current society require the servants of God to continuously improve their professionalism. Magister of Ministry (M.Min) is a professional program that fices the opportunities to priests and church activists and other Christian institutions to deepen and refresh their services. They can join this program without having to leave their jobs for a long time. The specific characteristic of this program is its emphasis on, one side the theological reflection of their current services and on the other side, the practical explanation of the theological concepts being learned. Because of this emphasis, the field service done at their own workplaces is an important part of this program. This program is handled by permanent lecturers of Duta Wacana Christian University including Doctors on various fields, and some visiting lecturers.

This program offers three areas of concentrations: Church and Religious Traditions, Practical Christian Ethics, Pastoral and Contemporary Service Management.
