keeping the joy in your study

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.
