“A school which has ceased to be a place of calm, concentration and contemplation, has ceased to be a school. It has become a place merely for fulfilling basic needs” (Konrad Paul Liessmann)

Any RE lesson aiming to a challenge such as this will have to be ambitious. And this applies equally to any course of RE teacher training with the same aim. The University College of Education of the Diocese of Linz offers optimum conditions for acquiring QTS in RE, with a commitment (laid down in the statutes) to a global and holistic view of education.

In view of the fact that our students come from all walks of life we offer a range of options for completing the course of initial RE teacher training. This has the advantage that seminar groups often contain a wide range of people of different ages and from different professions, which has a positive effect on the exchange of ideas and also stimulates communication.
