About Theology, Miscellaneous Non Award - at Trinity College Dublin
This is a non-CAO course. Students wishing to apply for admission are required to obtain an application form from the Admissions Office. Completed applications must be returned by 1 July 2004 for entry to the academic year commencing in October 2004.
The Government's Free Fees Initiative DOES NOT cover this course. Students registered for the Diploma/Degree in Theology will be required to pay tuition fees.
This professional degree course is conducted with the needs in mind of those who intend to enter the ordained ministry of the Christian church. Specifically it is constructed to meet the needs of those who intend to offer themselves for ordination in the Church of Ireland or one of its sister churches within the Anglican Communion.
The structure of the course provides for both the academic and professional requirements of those seeking ordination. The course is taught jointly by the University of Dublin and the Church of Ireland Theological College (although provision exists for the participation of other institutions which may wish to be associated with the teaching of the course). The University provides the teaching of academic aspects of the course and the Theological College undertakes the teaching of denominational aspects with the professional and practical skills.
There are three levels of award:
- Diploma in Theology (3 years)
- Bachelor in Theology (ordinary degree)(3 years)
- Bachelor in Theology with honors (4 years).
In the first three years of study for all levels the component courses are grouped under three headings:
- Theory
- Professional training
- Practical work
In the fourth honor year, the emphasis is on academic theology.
To be considered for admission to the course you will be required to satisfy the normal matriculation requirements of the University.
