Wycliffe Hall
About the college
Wycliffe is a warm and welcoming evangelical theological college which places a strong emphasis on Christian community and commitment. Students are encouraged to play an active part in the life and worship of the hall.
We aim to equip our students through excellent academic teaching, practical ministry experience and living as part of a vibrant and supportive Christian community.
Wycliffe students and tutors consistently gain the highest academic awards within the University and our alumni have experienced some fantastic success as theologians, apologists and church leaders.
Our student body is delightfully diverse, comprising women and men of many different nationalities and traditions. Such an environment makes for a rich and creative milieu of ideas, and lifelong friendships.
