INTRODUCTION 1.1. The purpose of the study programme The purpose of the study programme is philosophical-theological education of students. CTF views education of the candidates for the deaconry and presbyterate as their primary ecclesial role. Since the Republic of Croatia has introduced religious education programme for primary and secondary schools, the philosophical-theological study programme, beside courses for ministry, offers training and education for teaching at primary and secondary schools. The programme is intended for the formation of the candidates for deaconry, presbyterate and education but also qualifies students for the work in social, church, cultural, humanitarian and mass media institutions. The academic staff of the Faculty of Catholic Theology of Split constantly follows and contributes to the development of theological and catechetic sciences worldwide, particularly endorsing the interdisciplinary work with the related sciences and promoting regional historical, religious, social and cultural specificities. 1.2. Local community relations (economy, enterpreneurship, civil society, etc.) An explicit joint interest in implementing the Philosophical-Theological Studies is shown by the dioceses of the Archdiocese of Split and other dioceses, the Franciscan Province of the Most Holy Redeemer, other monastic communities and the Croatian education system. Stakeholders of other social areas such as media, humanitarian organizations, education and culture are also interested in philosophical-theological studies. The study programme is supported by Archdiocesan Catechetical Office, Education and Teacher Training Agency, network of parish communities and preschool institutions where religious education is being implemented. 1.3. Compliance with requirements of professional associations The programme is compliant with the document Sapientia Christiana of the Congregation for Catholic Education and the Guidelines of the National Catechetic Office of CBC (HBK). 1.4. Partners outside higher education system The programme partners are the dioceses of the Archdiocese of Split, the Franciscan Province of the Most Holy Redeemer and the Catechetic Offices of the Archbishop and Bishop along with the Education and Teacher Training Agency through its counsellors and mentors for religious education. 1.5. Financing The programme is financed from the state budget of the Republic of Croatia. INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY PHILOSOPHICAL-THEOLOGICAL STUDIES 7 1.6.
