Licentiate in Theology

This article is about the non-degree qualification in the UK and some Commonwealth countries. For the similarly named degree in the Pontifical Universities and Seminaries, sometimes referred to as a Licentiate of Theology, see Licentiate of Sacred Theology.

The Licentiate in Theology or Licence in Theology (LTh or ThL) is a non-degree qualification in theology awarded by the Anglican institutions in Canada and previously awarded in other Commonwealth countries. The qualification was introduced in the first half of the 19th century for candidates to the Anglican priesthood in the United Kingdom and has primarily been offered by Anglican theological colleges and universities.
