Programme Delivery
What to expect

For all validated programmes, there are two 4-5 day Residential teaching blocks per year when all WTC students from across the UK gather together in Nottingham at the Jubilee Campus. These are held in early September and early January. There is also a commitment to attend Hubs (depending on programme taken), except for those on the Flexi-programmes.

In addition to the two Residential blocks, the MA (with 2 or 3 year taught options) is taught on two to three Teaching Saturdays each year spread throughout each year. Teaching Saturdays are held on a regional basis and students may have to travel to another Hub to receive this teaching. Flexi-MA students are able to access all of their course content online. 

The course is assessed by the submission of up to six assignments per year, plus a dissertation (in the third or fourth year).

Hub Teaching

WTC Hub LocationsThe unique flavour of studying with WTC is largely defined by the experience of studying locally in a worshipping and learning community known as a Hub. Hubs meet on Monday or Tuesday evenings, depending on the location, and are environments in which you can form meaningful relationships with your fellow students, have time and space to discuss the issues arising in the teaching, as well as worshipping and praying together.

In our Hubs we also facilitate an extra-curricular Personal Formation Programme (PFP) through which local experts visit a Hub to deliver a one off session that enables students to develop skills, be introduced to experts in various spheres of influence and to provide another bridge between the academic, the spiritual, and the practical.

We have returned to our pre-pandemic teaching delivery with in-person Residentials and Hub Nights. If government guidance changes we are able to move online and continue delivering high quality programmes.
