Mater Ecclesiae College is a pontifical athenaeum which confers ecclesiastical degrees under the authority of the Holy See. It is open to all who are suitably qualified, and its degrees open up the possibility of teaching in Catholic universities, colleges, and seminaries throughout the world.
The College’s origins go back to 1614, with the establishment of a Jesuit house of studies in Louvain. The College subsequently moved to England, and, since 2019, it has been dependent on the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and located at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.
Thanks to its special relationship with the University, its degrees are normally paired with civil degrees awarded by St Mary’s University.
