This ecclesiastical faculty of theology was established in Zikawei, Shanghai (China), in 1929, and transferred to Baguio, the Philippines, in 1952. In 1967, according to the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, this Faculty was transferred back to Chinese cultural environment and located next to Fu Jen Catholic University, in Taiwan. Thereafter, according to the wishes of many ecclesiastical Prelates, the Faculty was converted into an Institute of Superior Ecclesiastical Studies open to Jesuit and non-Jesuit students alike. Fu Jen Faculty of Theology of St. Robert Bellarmine is authorized by the Dicastery for Culture and Education to confer the academic degrees of Baccalaureate, Licentiate, and Doctorate in Sacred Theology. Indeed, this Faculty of Theology is the only one in the world granted such authority with Mandarin Chinese as the language of instruction.

　　In 1968, in response to the demonstrated interest and need by the faithful, lay and religious, for study of theology and other sacred sciences for the enrichment of their Christian lives and for exercise of their apostolate more fruitfully in cooperation with clergy, an Institute of Religious Sciences was founded and attached to the Faculty with the authority to award academic degrees.

　　This Faculty carries out its mission in communion with the universal Church and with particular solicitude for the local Church. The Church’s mission of theological research and education, forming clergy, consecrated religious, and laity, has developed over time from the wisdom of the People of God, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and in dialogue with, and discernment of, the signs of the times and diverse cultural expressions. Your support for this mission would be greatly appreciated.
