St Irenaeus Orthodox Theological Institute

PhD

At this particular time a small number of post-graduate students are researching their PhD subjects under the supervision of Prof. Fr John Behr. Unfortunately, at this moment in time new candidates are not being accepted.

In February 2019, when the institute was still part of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, our very first PhD candidate, Fr Alexandros Chouliaras, successfully defended his PHD thesis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fr Joseph Lucas did the same at Radboud University. They now both bear the title ‘doctor’.
