Semester abroad
in Brixen

The Philosophical-Theological College Brixen/Bressanone is a great place to spend a semester abroad at a German-speaking college in Italy. Students appreciate the familiar character of the university and the special atmosphere of the city of Brixen. For professionals, it is also possible to enrol at the PTH during a sabbatical year.

Coursework completed (and credits earned) at the university is standardly recognised by Catholic theological faculties.

For those who want to take advantage of the proximity to the Italian cultural area to improve their language skills, the university offers free Italian courses. PTH students can also take part in the German and Italian language courses at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, whose Faculty of Education is based in Brixen-Bressanone.

Our secretary will be happy to help with finding an accommodation.

"For my year abroad, it was important to me that I come to a university where community is important. At PTH Brixen, there were coffee breaks and excursions with students and professors after exciting lectures. Friendships developed that have lasted until today."

Sarah Seifen (Mainz) is an editor.

Andreas Hahne

"The decision to study in Brixen for a semester was particularly influenced by recommendations from former students. I appreciated the personal atmosphere in the lectures and beyond. Some lasting friendships were formed during this time."

Andreas Hahne is a priest candidate in the Diocese of Aachen.

Philipp Fiala

"For me, a semester abroad at the PTH Brixen meant: studying where others go on holiday! In addition to the wonderful atmosphere in the mountains of South Tyrol, I was also attracted by the good mentoring relationship between students and teachers, but also by the lively culture of discussion within the College community."

Philipp Fiala, a priest candidate in the Bishopric of Aachen, continued his theology studies in Rome after the semester abroad at the PTH Brixen.
