The Faculty of Theology, Religion and Interfaith Studies at EULER offers a primary external (distance or online) degree program specifically called: PhD in Theology in Roman Catholic Studies for Interfaith Scholars (DRCT), which is a full Doctor of Philosophy degree.
Its main purpose is to offer an engaging, academically and theologically sound graduate program to students, clergy and working professionals (including catechists) interested in reaching the highest academic level of knowledge in the Catholic Faith.
It is worth mentioning that our programs are taught from a Magisterial (reflective of the official teachings of the Catholic Church) rather than from a controversial or modernistic perspective. According to the medieval (and Catholic) concept of academic disputatio, this program makes ample use of debates and dialectical material (see featured video)
This EUCLID program is offered as part of EUCLID’s interreligious mandate but is not in any way endorsed or approved by the Holy See. For a list of programs directly approved by the Holy See, please visit www.educatio.va
The EUCLID degree is a civil (public and intergovernmental), not ecclesiastical degree. However, the degree is recognized by the Holy See under applicable UNESCO conventions
It is noteworthy that the program’s first Principal was Fr Jose Kuruchavira, a Salesian priest based in Rome (also teaching at the Salesian Pontifical University), who was succeeded by a distinguished group of qualified Catholic priests as program faculty. Today, the program is supported by a dedicated group of Catholic clergy and theologians.
Possible areas of specialization include:
– Patristics
– Liturgical Studies
– Modern Catholic theologians
– Ecumenical and Inter-Religious relations
– Advanced Scriptural Studies
– Social Issues, Ethics and Bioethics
