The EBTC Master of Divinity program is designed to help international students, mainly in Europe, pursue further studies on a graduate level, after completion of studies from their TMAI Training Center or a similar Bible training center in their country.

Due to both financial and practical considerations, it is not possible for most European students to go to the US to pursue any further studies on a graduate level. Still, European nations need trained men who will proclaim God’s Word faithfully with the best possible theological education.

Based on these considerations, the EBTC has designed a truly unique M.Div. program that is not only accessible to European students but also has affordable tuition, flexible enrollment, internationally credible graduate education through TMAI, and intentional mentorship. Built upon the Word of God, this program is devoted to equipping faithful men of God for the work of the ministry.

Here are some of the characteristics that make the EBTC program unique:

1. Accessible – The EBTC M.Div. allows students to remain in their home country, within their existing ministries and jobs, yet still receive an excellent education. To accomplish this goal, the EBTC M.Div. program is bi-vocational and seeks to include all European TMAI training centers and The Master’s Seminary as study locations. Classes will thus not only be held at the main EBTC campus in Germany, but also in Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, and Albania.
2. Affordable – Graduate studies abroad are expensive and usually include significant costs beyond tuition. M.Div. tuition at EBTC, however, covers nearly one-half of the normal operating expenses, so that each student automatically receives a scholarship due to reduced tuition in order to keep the program as affordable as possible.
3. Flexible – The EBTC M.Div. is a six-year program with various enrollment possibilities providing flexibility for European ministers who also have a full-time job. Because the M.Div. program is bi-vocational, classes are usually less than one week long and occurring every two months.
4. Credible – The EBTC M.Div. program fulfills international standards for the credit unit system, classes, workload, and professors. The Master of Divinity degree through the EBTC is therefore internationally accepted at all partnering seminaries and Bible institutions worldwide.
5. Intentional – Most online educational programs lack intentional interaction and communication with the student. In contrast, each student of the EBTC M.Div. program will have a mentor who will disciple, lead, supervise, and oversee the student during his time of study. Mentors will serve as a connecting point between the student and the M.Div. administration.
