We have carried out a three-site photometric campaign for the Beta Cephei star Theta Ophiuchi from April to August 2003. 245 hours of differential photoelectric uvy photometry were obtained during 77 clear nights. The frequency analysis of our measurements resulted in the detection of seven pulsation modes within a narrow frequency interval between 7.116 and 7.973 c/d. No combination or harmonic frequencies were found. We performed a mode identification of the individual pulsations from our colour photometry that shows the presence of one radial mode, one rotationally split l=1 triplet and possibly three components of a rotationally split l=2 quintuplet. We discuss the implications of our findings and point out the similarity of the pulsation spectrum of Theta Ophiuchi to that of another Beta Cephei star, V836 Cen.
