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, there are twenty Hub teaching evenings, on a Monday or Tuesday evening (depending on which Hub you are in), between 6.30 – 9.30pm, through the academic year. Flexi-GradDip students watch the recorded lectures in their own time and join every second Tuesday evening for their video tutorials.
The programmes are assessed by the submission of six essays throughout the year.

The Graduate Diploma in Church Planting & Leadership is assessed by the submission of six essays throughout the year.
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 in Hubs (unless there are only 1 or 2 students in a Hub on that Teaching Saturday, when students can dial in from home.) Students from two or more Hubs can choose to meet together for a better pedagogical experience. Flexi-MA students can dial in on the day or listen to the recordings after the Teaching Saturdays.
The course is assessed by the submission of up to six assignments per year, plus a dissertation (in the third or fourth year).
Students who are unable to make the teaching Saturdays at a local Hub may elect to do the Flexi-MA.
One of the unique features of studying with WTC, for those on undergraduate programmes, is the experience of being a member of a Hub (which is a worshipping and learning community in your region). 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.

A rich variety of online resources are available through WTC’s virtual learning environment, MyWTC. This includes books, articles, lecture notes, recorded lectures, and other resources. In addition, WTC has a collection of eBooks available to all students and each Hub has a library of books available for students to borrow.
