The Evangelical Theological Faculty, Leuven, Belgium, offers a non-residential Ph.D. in Theology under evangelical auspices. ETF holds official Belgian government recognition and since 1983 has been authorized to grant theological degrees at the Licentiate (Th.M.) and Doctor of Theology (Ph.D.) levels. Meeting the admission requirements indicates that the student is qualified to undertake guided preparation toward individual examinations in one major and two minor areas of theological study in the "examination phase". Upon successful completion of examinations in each area of study with a supervising professor and a comprehensive "doctoral examination" before a committee, the student begins supervised research and writing in the "dissertation phase". Participation in the annual colloquium is a required part of the program. Further information on this program can be found at http://www.bib.be/pages_en/Doctor.htm
