There are over 50 universities and colleges across the UK where you could study for a degree in some combination of religion and theology: so why would you want to come to Nazarene Theological College in Manchester for a programme – either in person or online. Well, there are some pretty strong reasons to encourage you think about coming in this direction!
- NTC is a ‘confessional College.’ That means, it’s a place where we don’t just study theology as an academic subject, but we live it out. We are a worshipping community: we pray together, worship together, engage in acts of faithful service. Our faith matters to us, and we welcome students who see their faith as a deep part of their life
- NTC enjoys a superb rating from students and the academy: NTC is consistently WAY above other universities average in the National Student Survey over the past six years, with satisfaction ratings in the high 90’s. And the University of Manchester, the ‘awarding body’ for NTC’s degrees, is consistently in the top 50 global universities: a degree whose quality is recognised around the world.
- NTC is a learning community: Community is at the heart of our identity. With small classrooms (typically no more that 30 at undergraduate level, and less than 10 at postgraduate level), you will get to know your teachers, drink coffee with them, be able to draw on them as a resource and support. And with a student body of mature learners, you’ll also learn from and with each other.
- NTC values practice-based learning and values research: on the one hand, we have placement-based courses that prepare you for your calling, and give you wide experience in the real world. But we also value research – we have a globally-known faculty, and a rich research community with PhD students and scholars who come here from around the globe.
- Manchester. If you’re an on-campus student, then you’ll enjoy the vibrancy of a city that is renowned for its culture, its sport, its music, its history, its diversity. If you’re online, then the chance to come here for an intensive week, to choose to dip you toes into this amazing place, will be one you jus can’t resist.
Really – why would you NOT want to come here
