On the basis of the Slovak Qualifications Framework in the European Higher Education Area, graduates of this study programme belong to level 8. The individual has general knowledge at the level of assessment and knowledge of the priorities needed for the development of society. Professional knowledge: methodological knowledge in several areas of the field and practice, serving as a basis for innovation and originality in practice and research, necessary for the design of research and development or the development of an area of professional practice. Cognitive skills: the individual can generate and formulate new hypotheses, judgements and strategies for the further development of a scientific or professional field; can evaluate theories, concepts and innovations. Practical skills: graduates can apply their own findings resulting from theoretical analysis and their own scientific research of a complex and/or interdisciplinary nature, and can design, validate and implement new research and working practices. Competences: the graduate is characterised by critical, independent and analytical thinking in unpredictable, changing conditions; taking into account social, scientific and ethical aspects in guiding the further development of society; the ability to present the results of research and development to the professional community; responsibility for leadership in a given scientific or professional field; planning one's own development and the development of society in the context of scientific and technological progress.
Graduates of the Theology degree programme - in our experience so far - are usually already practising in ministry. The graduate can find employment as a minister in a Reformed church. The primary place of employment for graduates is the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, but they may also find employment in other Reformed churches in Europe and the world. Furthermore, they may find employment as a researcher in theological institutes of a scientific, research or advisory nature. The graduate's employment is also open to those outside the church, especially in those vocations where a social science education is required, focused on working with people.
Graduates of the degree program, in assessing their employability in the job market, could be categorized as "0221 religion and theology".

Graduates of the study programme, when assessing their employability in the labour market, could be classified in the category "0929 social welfare not elsewhere classified", because missiology and diakonia is such a specific field in the ministry of the church, which is not precisely classified in ISCED-FoET 2013. Our graduates are able to social care for the aged, the disabled, the needy, as well as for children. In this respect, they would belong to the category "092 Social Welfare", but the study programme is implemented in the study area 37 Theology. The vocation of missiologists and deacons is so specific and narrow that it is not possible to clearly classify them in the established groups of disciplines. If a nurse or social worker is able to help the needy on the physical and bodily level, the deacon and missiologist, in doing so, deals with the soul of the needy person in question.

- in the study programme, the profile subjects of the respective pathway of study (specialisation),
Profile subjects are all compulsory subjects (A), and all compulsory elective subjects (B).
- For each educational part/subject, it defines the learning outcomes and related criteria and rules for their assessment so that all the educational objectives of the study programme are met (they can only be listed in the Course Information Sheets in the Learning Outcomes section and in the Course Completion Requirements section),
The information sheets of all educational units/subjects clearly describe the requirements for their completion as well as the learning outcomes (detailed characterisation of knowledge, skills and attitudes) that the graduate will acquire upon completion of the educational unit/subject.
- prerequisites, co-requisites and recommendations for the development of the curriculum,
The continuity of the individual profile subjects is logical and natural. There are no prerequisites in the classical sense, but the notation, numbering of the individual subjects is created in such a way that in the contents of the individual subjects the student progresses from the simple to the more complex.
The prerequisites for the subjects of the dissertation examination are the profile subjects and the completion of the compulsory educational parts/courses of the study programme.
- For each educational part of the curriculum/subject, it determines the educational activities used (lecture, seminar, exercise, final thesis, project work, laboratory work, internship, excursion, field practicum, professional practice, state examination and others, or combinations thereof) suitable for the achievement of the learning outcomes,
The information sheets of all educational units/subjects clearly declare the educational activity by which RTF UJS ensures the achievement of the expected learning outcomes.
In most cases of educational units/subjects, the preferred educational activity is a lecture or a seminar, however, given the current epidemiological situation, we consider it necessary and natural to carry out these activities also in the form of online activities.
- Methods by which the educational activity is carried out - face-to-face, distance, combined (in accordance with the Course Information Sheets),
In the information sheets of all educational units/subjects, the methods of education are clearly declared as "face-to-face", with the possibility of online form if justified for health and hygiene reasons.
- Course syllabus/syllabus[1],
The syllabus in the information sheets of all educational parts/subjects, which are mostly implemented in the form of lectures or seminars.
- Student workload ("scope" for each subject and learning activity separately)[2],
In the preparation of both the educational and creative parts of the courses of the presented study programme, we have taken into account the workload of students, in accordance with the ECTS, depending on the credits allocated and the time scale in which the education will take place.
- Credits allocated to each part on the basis of the learning outcomes achieved and the associated workload,
In the case of both the educational and creative parts of the higher credit courses, where the hourly allocation of face-to-face teaching was not in line with the student's workload, learning tasks, assignments, outcomes are declared, which are solved by the student through guided self-study under the guidance of the teacher, and subsequent demonstration of knowledge or skills that have been predetermined in the formulation of the assignments. Particularly for creative subjects - teaching, conference presentations, publications, defined stages of a dissertation - the credits correspond to the difficulty of performing the required creative work.
- the person providing the course (or partner organisation and person[3]) with contact details,
Students on the programme will regularly participate in national and international conferences. They will build their own contacts, and strengthen contacts, especially with other Reformed theologies and doctoral schools abroad in Europe.
- Subject teachers (or participating partner organisations and persons) (may also be listed in IL courses),
The responsible teachers are listed in the course information sheets. But the doctoral student's primary teacher - his/her supervisor - is his/her supervisor.

The library provides access to the study literature for the study programme, at least in the scope of the compulsory literature listed in the course information sheets. At present, UJS UK holds more than 2700 titles related to theology, the submitted study programme and related to the discipline. The university library uses the DAWINCI library information system, which is a modern library and information system integrating the latest elements from the field of server applications, database systems, document management and, in conjunction with the knowledge and experience of libraries, translates them into a comprehensive multimedia library and information system. The system provides users with access to individual library collections through the OPAC on-line catalogue via the website. The UJS University Library, similarly to other university libraries, is included in the central register of publication activity registration for the needs of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Slovak Republic. Access of students and lecturers to the necessary databases is also solved by remote access via CVTI SR. Access to foreign scientific journals available in the online databases of individual publishers is also provided through this access. The University Library organises workshops that support orientation in publishing databases and work with literary sources.
In the implementation of the TEdd22 study programme, the Theological Professional Library of the Theological Institute of J. Calvin (TIJC) in Komárno is available for both teachers and students. TIJC is a scientific institution of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. The library holds more than 35,000 titles of theological professional literature, mainly in Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, German and English. In addition, more than 170 professional periodicals are available in the library. A description of the library is available on the TJCA website: www.refteologia.sk
For the needs of distance education or combined education, the university has 4 servers with BigBlueButton videoconferencing system in operation. An alternative tool for distance learning is the MS Teams platform, as part of the Office 365 A1 for faculty package, which is available to all teachers and students. Back in 2015, an e-learning system based on the open-source LMS Moodle was created and put into operation at UJS. This system was partially integrated with the WeBWorK system in 2017. This comprehensive system was also operated in 2019. Moodle continues to offer the possibility of publishing study and support materials for individual subjects, the possibility of assigning homework and electronic testing of knowledge in an authorised zone. In addition, WeBWorK gives the possibility of automated generation, submission and evaluation of mathematical assignments. In addition to the wired connectivity available in the ND, UK and other selected locations, students in all UJS buildings have access to the Internet via a WiFi network. A person's authentication (login and password) is required to connect to the network. A central printing system was introduced in 2016 and is also available to students. Students are able to add credit to their accounts in the UJS cashier's office.
For distance learning, so far our students and teachers have made excellent use of the online platforms. BigBlueButton, Teams, Letsmeet, Zoom, Google Classroom, Redmenta, etc. have been used in the educational process.
In terms of providing educational activities in the study programme, our main partner is the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. The cooperation with the church takes place in the spirit of §39. of the Act on Higher Education No. 131/2002 Coll. A description of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia is available on the official website of the church: www.reformata.sk
Another partner of our faculty is the Theological Institute of J. Calvin (TIJC). TIJC is a scientific institute of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. TIJC provides us with the ecclesiastical and professional background for our activities. In addition to being a permanent partner in the organization of scientific and professional conferences, it provides convocation lectures, i.e. experts for our students on a personal basis. A description of the TIJC is available on the TIJC website: www refteologia.sk
In the course of their studies, UJS also provides its students with a stimulating environment. UJS effectively manages and operates the UJS Student Homes, where it provides comfortable accommodation for the University's students, with suitable conditions for quality living with adequate hygiene standards and safety. The UJS campus includes a multifunctional playground enabling students to spend their leisure time and play sports in a meaningful way.
UJS also provides students with catering in the building of the UJS Conference Centre. In the Sports Centre of the University, students have the opportunity to play sports and implement other leisure activities.
The University also aims to provide opportunities for cultural, social and spiritual activities. Young talents find their application in the Cantus Iuventus choir. Students have the opportunity to attend the chapel set up in the Čajka School.
Especially for the students of the Reformed Theological Faculty, a church background is provided in the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia - in the Komárno church choir. The students of the TEed22 programme - outside the curriculum - regularly serve in the faculty services and in the Lord's Supper. The student government organizes weekly Bible classes where students of the TEed22 program also serve.
UJS offers its students foreign study mobility within the Erasmus+, Makovecz, CEEPUS and various internship programmes offered by the Balassi Institution (Mobility Grants of the Ministry of Human Resources of the Hungary).
Currently, UJS has 118 concluded bilateral agreements, memoranda and inter-institutional agreements with 63 partner institutions in 15 European countries as well as inter-institutional agreements in partner countries outside the EU within the KA107 activity.
The Department for International Relations in cooperation with UJS faculties regularly organises Erasmus+ information days and workshops, and offers the possibility of personal or online consultation. Promotional materials, leaflets and brochures are distributed to UJS students. At the same time, the UJS Department for International Relations regularly publishes information about its activities on the Erasmus+ UJS website and mass mails information to UJS students, teachers and staff via the University's information tools. Linguistic support for students is provided through the Erasmus+ On-line Linguistic Support (OLS) tool.

The admission requirements are available on the Faculty's website: https://rtk.ujs.sk/documents/Podmienky%20prijatia%20na%20RTF%20UJS%20na%20akademick%C3%BD%20rok%202022_2023%20(1).pdf
The prerequisite for admission is that the applicant must be a graduate of a second cycle undergraduate degree program in Theology 37. Applicants from other or related fields of study do not possess the theological knowledge, skills, and competencies that are prerequisites for graduation from the submitted program of study. Just as an example: graduates of Reformed theology have a passive knowledge of biblical Hebrew and Greek. These classical languages are taught only in theological and divinity faculties. Based on the principle of equality, it is not possible for one candidate to be proficient in the biblical languages and the other not. It is also necessary to speak of potential applicants - theologians - from theological or theological faculties other than Reformed theology, i.e. those potential applicants who have not completed a programme of study in "Reformed theology". With them the situation is similar because the special Reformed theology (systematics, dogmatics, creeds, history of dogma, ecclesiastics, liturgics, etc.) is different from the others. The "closest" faith is evangelical a.v., and graduates of evangelical theology a.v. have the same chance for the submitted program of study as graduates of the Reformed theology program. It is also important to clarify the options for potential applicants from abroad. It should be ascertained whether they have a similar level II education as graduates of Reformed Theology or Evangelical Theology a.v. Each applicant in a given field must have professional and methodological knowledge in several areas of the field and practice, serving as a basis for innovation and originality in practice and research. He or she must have the cognitive skills to propose and evaluate solutions to methodological, professional, practical, and scholarly problems in multiple areas of the field and practice. He/she must be able to formulate recommendations for the development of a given scientific and professional field. Be able to establish scientific or practical assumptions for problem solving. Practical skills: candidates must be able to implement and evaluate solutions to methodological, professional, practical and scientific problems in a range of disciplinary and practice areas. The student must be able to develop guidelines, implementation projects and evaluation procedures for activities in the field. Competences: a high degree of independence and foresight in both familiar and unfamiliar environments. He/she is characterised by initiative and responsibility for managing the work of a work team, innovative and creative thinking, and professional presentation of the results of his/her own studies or practice. Has the ability to respond to social and societal issues based on Scripture and Christian values to social and societal problems and offer them to others. Ability to offer help based on Christian values. Ability to have facilitative conversations, resolve conflicts and problems based on Scripture and Christian values. Ability to articulate Scripture and Christian values and appropriately convey them in conversation.

Students were given the opportunity to express their views and comments in the designated text box of the questionnaire in the AIS. The questionnaire was made available to the students from 01.02.2021 to 30.04.2021 and from 01.05.2021 to 15.07.2021. It was only possible to fill it in during the defined period. The students entered the system and presented their views and insights under their identification number. In this way, it was ensured that each student could complete the survey only once, while the module implemented in AIS2 guaranteed the anonymity of the respondents. Only the questionnaire intended for the respondent was made available to him/her. On average, students evaluated 21 teachers and expressed their opinion about 70 subjects. This average is the average of the last 3 surveys. The questionnaire in electronic form is primarily used to speed up the subsequent processing of the data collected. The obtained data and the overall evaluation of the results were processed by the dean's office of the RTF UJS and subsequently reported to the individual departments. The conclusions of the evaluation were reflected in the teaching at RTF UJS for the following period.
The developed questionnaire consisted of three parts: part I - general part (1 question) part II - evaluation of teaching process and subjects (2 questions for each enrolled subject) part III - general part - comments and suggestions.
The questions in the first part served to find out the general opinion of students about RTF UJS. The level of teaching at RTF UJS was found out (What is your opinion about the level of teaching at RTF UJS?)
Students' responses to the question on the level of teaching at RTF UJS show that students are generally satisfied with the level of teaching at RTF UJS.
As a feedback, we also asked the main employer of our graduates, i.e. the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, to express their opinion about our graduates at the church-wide, eldership and congregational levels. The individual constituent bodies of the employer, i.e. the organizational structural units of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, provided positive references about our graduates. They are satisfied with the work of our graduates, their professionalism, skills and abilities for the job. The feedback mentioned above is available on the RTF UJS website:
