https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambeth_degree I don't know anything about this apart from what is says in the above but I thought it might be of interest to someone.
The examination degrees are no longer offered. Nowadays the options are for an MPhil or a Ph.D., both by research. The web site is here: http://aet-lambeth.org The trick is that only people who can swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen are eligible, which they interpret to mean one of the following: Eligibility British Subject Nationals of Commonwealth countries which retain the Queen as head of state Holders of dual nationality, one of which nationalities is British Subject or national of a Commonwealth country which retains the Queen 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 Also the program is limited to 30 students at a time. I'm not sure how big an obstacle that is, i.e. whether it's usually full or not.
Canadians do not have to swear allegiance to the queen. But all immigrants to Canada have to become a citizen of Canada. It is stupid but it is what it is. I personally do not care for royalty mostly based on history.
Thanks for the update. Very reasonable prices: Fees For the period of probation £500 For registration on the MPhil/PhD programme £250 Annual fee, chargeable from registration £1000 Examination fee £660
Hi, I'm curious what you mean in stating that "all immigrants to Canada have to become a citizen of Canada." In reality, immigrants to Canada aren't required to become citizens. I have permanent resident status here and will be eligible for citizenship in two years. However, I'm under no obligation to become a citizen when that time comes. I know many immigrants who have become citizens, but also many others who've become permanent residents with no intentions of continuing to citizenship. Just curious what gave you that impression.
in USA on the other hand, the DHS wants all permanent residents (green card holders) who become eligible for citizenship, to either take up the citizenship or give up their PR status. My sister was a green card holder and became eligible for citizenship. But she could not take it immediately for some reasons. Every time she traveled to home country, she was tortured by the DHS agents at the airport. She was told very rudely that she's welcome to give up her PR status as there are many people waiting for it, and she's abusing by not taking the citizenship. She finally got fed up and gave up her PR and returned to her home country.
My bad writing give that impression. For immigrants to become citizens in Canada they must swear allegiance to the queen.
