MF focuses on education, research and dissemination of their fields of expertise.

MF has from 1967 offered education within Christianity and other religions for use in school and society, in addition to theology.

The Faculty of Theology was founded in 1907 by a body of Norwegian academics, politicians, clergy and lay people wanting to offer a theological education founded on the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.

The founding charter was signed October 16, 1907, and the school was opened in the autumn of 1908 with only eight students (a number that increased to fourteen before the end of the first term).

MF awards bachelor, masters, candidatus/a theologiae and Ph.D. degrees, as well as dr.
