Description

Licentiate in Canon Law (JCL)

The Licentiate in Canon Law (JCL) is a distance-learning course run in conjunction with St Paul's University, Ottawa. The course runs over three semesters each year. The first and second semester are run via distance learning, while the summer semester involves a two week residential programme (late July / early August) on the campus of St Patrick's Pontifical University, Maynooth.

The JCL degree consists of 75 credits, 66 of which are from compulsory courses and 9 of which are from optional courses. The JCL curriculum is governed by Sapientia Christiana (15 April 1979) and subsequent legislation and norms of the Holy See. The curriculum provides a solid historical and theoretical basis for all current canonical legislation of the Latin Church, and emphasises the pastoral application of this law.

All students will simultaneously receive the civil diploma of Masters of Canon Law (MCL), granted jointly by Saint Paul University and the University of Ottawa (with which Saint Paul University has been federated since 1965).

Why choose this option:

  • Study from home
  • Retain current ministry / employment
  • Flexible and manageable programme
  • Excellent Canon Law resources
  • Team of internationally renowned and dedicated professors
  • Superb range of affordable accommodation on a historic and attractive campus during summer semester
  • Easy access to Dublin city and airport
