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.
Associated Libraries
Students registered for courses with EIDTS are entitled to access books from designated libraries in each of the main centres. Listed below are libraries with whom we have a working relationship. Students need to make their own arrangements to borrow books from each of these libraries. Some books may also be available through the inter-loan system. Requests may be lodged with any university or local library.
