Hello and welcome to the Department of Religious Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Žilina, Slovakia. We are delighted that you want to explore your call through our institution. We are ready to equip you with all the skills necessary for your life and mission.

At the Department of Religious Studies we are committed to Christian-based higher education. We work to equip you with skills for your personal life, career and the positive influence of people in your community. The world’s future depends on our investment in children and young people. By participating in their formation you actively shape and transform the face of the future. If your desire is to help make the world a better place, we believe our program is the right choice for you.

Education is no longer just about memorizing information. Our curriculum includes “hands-on” practical study in the field, teamwork and partnership within the Christian community, and a profound intercultural adventure in Slovakia and the rest of Europe. Today life is very complex, and a sound education must reflect this complexity to equip students for effective work. Our study program in Mission Work with Children and Youth offers you the tools for a successful future.

On behalf of our staff, community, and current students, we welcome you to our Department of Religious Studies. I want to assure you that we are ready to assist you with your questions and needs, and that we are always here to support you. 

Every blessing!

Adrian Kacian
Assistant Professor at the Department of Religious Studies
