The Church of Ireland Theological Institute (formerly the Church of Ireland Theological College) is responsible for ministerial formation and lay training within the Church of Ireland. It is located in Churchtown in Dublin.

Courses

The Institute has maintained the links with the University of Dublin. The Master in Theological Studies degree was first offered in conjunction with Trinity College, Dublin in 2009, replacing the B.Th. degree which was offered until 2010. 

The memorandum of understanding with Trinity was revised in 2018. The institute also offers a Graduate Certificate in Theology, Ministry and Mission, in partnership with St John’s College, Nottingham, and validated by Durham University as part of the Church of England’s Common Awards programme.

This course is a prerequisite for ordinands hoping to study for the M.Th., and is also used for the training of lay readers within the Church. This lay readers course is a combination of distant learning (online), and contact time in CITI, and in the Diocese.

The Church of Ireland Certificate in third level Chaplaincy course run from CITI, was awarded in 2016.
