Mentoring (ecclesiastical study support)

The content on this page was translated automatically.

In order to be able to teach religious education later on, in addition to successfully completing your studies at a university, you must be authorized by the religious community. For the Catholic Church, this is the ecclesiastical teaching permit, without which no religious instruction may be given during the traineeship. It is applied for at the end of the course at the diocese of Fulda. Proof of participation in the mentoring program must be provided in the form of the so-called "Studienbegleitbrief". The mentoring program accompanies the students on their way to being commissioned.

The mentoring program connects us students through a wide range of activities, such as pilgrimages, cooking and baking evenings, talks, games and film evenings, and accompanies us on our personal journey of faith during our studies.

The mentoring program is a useful addition to theology studies, a place of encounter and a way of arriving in Kassel.

What and why?

In the mentorate, an institution of the diocese of Fulda, you will be supported until you apply for the "ecclesiastical teaching license". So you always have two pillars: a large one at the university, during your studies - and a small one in the mentorate.
The ecclesiastical study support in the mentorate offers you a forum for exchanging ideas and meeting other students, for dealing with professional and ecclesiastical issues, personal questions of faith, doubts and much more.
The mentoring program supports you in developing and defending a reflective standpoint in the Catholic faith and in the Church. This takes place in the form of binding elements that are set out in the so-called "study guide" and open offers that are co-designed by students as a semester program.
