Iași

A school of theology in the university city of Moldavia.

The faculty prepares priests, social workers, icon painters and researchers for service in the Church and for careful work in the community. The study is academic, and faculty life stays close to the parish, the library and the studio.

The faculty

Theology read with patience, spoken clearly and tested in practice.

Students follow courses in Scripture, patristics, church history, liturgics, moral theology, missiology, social work and sacred art. The library in Building T and the office on Lozonschi Iordache Street are where that course of study is kept, from the first semester through to the doctorate.

Studies

Three cycles, from initial formation to research.

The bachelor's degree covers pastoral theology, social work and sacred art. The master's degree adds counselling, the family, mission and heritage. The doctorate continues the school's research directions.

Academic year 2026–2027

Registration is online, and the pastoral examination stays at the faculty.

Applicants to Orthodox Pastoral Theology sit the diction and musical-aptitude test, then the written paper in the Teaching of the Orthodox Faith. Seminary graduates are exempt from the vocational test. For social work and sacred art, the confirmation calendar is published with the documents.

Theology is learned in books, but it is recognised in the way one person stands beside another.
