Theology, Philosophy & Catechesis at Maryvale Higher Institute of Religious Sciences.

Maryvale is both a place of worship and a specialist Institute, providing distance learning opportunities in Catholic Theology, Evangelisation, Catechesis, Philosophy, Ministry and Religious Education at every level from short, informal courses to BAs, MAs and research degrees. The range of levels offered enables students from all backgrounds to develop their full potential and obtain nationally and internationally recognised qualifications.

The Holy See has now erected Maryvale as an Ecclesiastical institute so that it can also offer degrees of the Holy See, at undergraduate and postgraduate level. These degrees, through the European Bologna agreement, are fully recognised in European member countries. The degrees offer a serious and systematic formation for the sake of the lay apostolate and can enable one to move into leadership and teaching positions in the Church.
