Extramural study requires devotion and ongoing dedication. This is so much easier to sustain when you enjoy the process, like a favourite hobby, and when you don't feel alone. After nearly 20 years providing academic correspondence courses in theology, we have learned how to make home study more collegiate, more supportive and more successful for you.
That's why our distance tutors keep in contact with course participants during the whole course process... with ongoing help, comments and encouragement.
EIDTS (the Ecumenical Institute of Distance Theological Studies) offers distance study programmes at tertiary level to adult learners throughout New Zealand. It allows people to work in their own home, in their own time, and at their own pace.
The NZQA registered qualification offered by EIDTS is the LTh (Licentiate of Theology) Diploma which is a course of study available to candidates for ministry or others wishing to extend their knowledge and understanding in theology and related subjects.
Other internal qualifications are also offered, based on the courses that make up the LTh, and serve to recognise the progress and achievement of students.
