This Diploma has been on offer at the Milltown Institute since the academic year 2000-2001. It is a part-time evening programme, which runs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings over two academic years. The programme operates on a modular basis, enabling students to enrol for either (a) the Full Programme (2 years), or (b) Selected Courses (4 years), chosen according to personal interests and time availability. Thus the full programme may be completed either over two or four years depending upon the chosen route. The programme will provide an academic qualification in Theology, which should be of interest to several different categories of applicants, e.g., those seeking credits for CPE programmes associated with hospital chaplaincy, those engaged in pastoral ministry in parish and other locations, etc. Many applicants wish to engage in the study of Theology at an academic level for their own personal enrichment as well as achieve a recognised competence in theological reflection that enhances their adult faith development. The specific modular design and flexibility of the programme aims to provide an opportunity for applicants to engage in an array of evening modules in order to bring enhancement and support to their other professional and family commitments.
PLEASE NOTE: The Institute is not taking new entrants in this programme in the academic year 2010/2011.
