Our Distance option allows international students to study part-time for a PhD from their home country, as long as they visit Edinburgh at key stages. This part-time, 72-month, research programme has been designed especially for suitably qualified applicants from overseas and the UK whose circumstances make regular attendance in Edinburgh impossible. Subjects available Ethics and Practical Theology Hebrew Bible and Old Testament Studies History of Christianity Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations New Testament and Christian Origins Religious Studies Science and Religion Systematic Theology World Christianity Key stages Over the course of the six-year programme, students enrolled on our distance PhD will be required to come to Edinburgh: twice in their first year, for research training and a summer review once per year of study after that once for their final oral examination. Fees The tuition fee charged will be 50% of the fee for full-time students for each of the six years of the programme. Entry requirements Academic and English Language entry requirements are the same as for our on-campus PhD programmes. Find out more School overview of PhD by Distance.
