Luther King House theological college is an interdenominational Christian college, based in the heart of Manchester, with a diverse student population. We offer part-time & full-time Christian theology and religious studies degrees, which build on your church experience and are designed to support you in your lay or ordained ministry as you deepen your understanding of faith, worship, ministry and mission. We welcome students of all denominations with a mature outlook on life, and we have an excellent track record of working with people joining us from access courses or with experiential learning.  We are also experienced in supporting students with dyslexia.  Our high ratio of tutors to students means we are able to offer more personal support than may be available in larger institutions.  We have a Tier 4 licence for international students, and international students are charged the same fees as home students.  Because of the contextual and experiential nature of our courses, you need a church-related context in which you can carry out church-based activities and reflect upon your ministry and practice in that context. For information about our undergraduate & postgraduate degree courses, see below.
