About Us

Unitarian College is a national College that provides training, education and development for all Unitarians, including Ministry Students, Lay Leaders, Adults and Young People.

With national coverage, our College is not based in one place. Our training programmes and courses take place in variety of locations and on-line so that all of us can access them.

The College’s vision is built on our belief that when we all learn together, our denomination will be enriched and flourish. The College aims to deliver a new generation of leaders that will ensure a healthy future for our denomination.

Photo of student Arek Malecki with Rev Jo James minister of Mill Hill Chapel in Leeds"The formation of the Unitarian College has opened up the possibility of ministry training to people like me, who otherwise would not have been able to study due to the confines of the modern life. As a modern institution UC is very much in touch with the reality. The training programme is tailor-made to fit each student’s individual circumstances. The content of the course is incredibly rich, covering a vast spectrum of topics, using various methods of teaching and student engagement. The ministry training programme perfectly balances being “down to earth” on one hand, and “looking up to the heavens” on the other, placing emphasis on the practical application of the acquired skills, knowledge and insights in the 21st century British Unitarian congregations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we still get the same rich learning experience under the restrictions posed by Covid.

But UC is much more than just an educational establishment. It’s a support network for those embarking on a journey of professional ministry. It’s a space where we, students, learn just as much from each other as we do from our tutors. It’s a space where new friendships are made and future professional relationships are formed."
