The Faculty of Theology aims to deepen the student's appreciation of the mystery of God and His plan of salvation in Jesus Christ, revealed in Sacred Scripture and transmitted by the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
It seeks to demonstrate the consistency of the demands of philosophical reason to the Christian vision and offer a rational instrument suited to theological speculation, to dialogue with today's pluralistic world.
The purpose of the Faculty is to train professionals to be capable of competently engaging in the ethical issues that continually arise in the field of biological and biomedical sciences, with respect for human dignity and the protection of life of every individual, from conception to natural death.
The UNESCO Chair provides a space for reflection, study and information on the principles of bioethics in science, medicine and new technologies, in light of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
Through holistic education, research and information, the chair seeks to contribute to the recognition and promotion of a comprehensive and integral vision of bioethics, bringing to light universal values and principles and their legal implications in relation to human rights.
