Question 1
Since LRDT (AET) degrees have the legal status of ‘degrees of the realm’, students must be able to swear the Oath of Allegiance to His Majesty the King as Head of State.
Candidates must therefore fall into one of these categories…
Eligibility*
- British Subject
- Nationals of Commonwealth countries which retain the King as head of state
- Holders of dual nationality, one of which nationalities is British Subject or national of a Commonwealth country which retains the King as head of state.
- Members of the clergy of the Church of England’s Diocese in Europe
- Foreign nationals who have British residency or who are permanently domiciled in the UK, and who are not otherwise prevented by virtue of their own nationality and citizenship from taking the Oath of Allegiance
- None of the above
The LRDT (AET) handles personal data in conformity with the policy of the Church of England National Church Institutions.
