For almost 125 years, Newbold College of Higher Education has been dedicated to providing a holistic learning experience that nurtures the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual wellbeing of its students.

While the COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges in terms of course delivery, our commitment to student support has never wavered—whether students are on campus or part of our online community. While the Newbold experience is best enjoyed on our beautiful physical campus—with its easy access to lectures, sports activities, and opportunities for spiritual and social growth—we continue to ensure that all students feel equally engaged and supported.

At Newbold, teaching goes beyond traditional ‘stand and deliver’ methods. Our classes are interactive and personal, fostering deeper learning and connection. Our staff remain accessible beyond the classroom, offering the additional guidance and care that are part of a truly holistic, well-rounded education.

Alumni often speak fondly of the benefits of belonging to our small, close-knit community—where students and staff build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas freely, and grow together in preparation for ministry in the broadest and most impactful sense.

In 2020-2021, Newbold underwent a thoughtful reorientation, becoming a more focused institution centred around the Centre for Ministry and Mission, which delivers our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes—each validated by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Now, in 2025, we are preparing to broaden the scope of ministry and mission once again. Plans are underway to launch new academic programmes and an enhanced eLearning platform, enabling Newbold to adapt to changing educational needs and industry developments. Through these initiatives, we aim to better serve both the Church community and society at large while strengthening our financial sustainability.

We take pride in the enduring principles that guide our mission:

• A distinctive and holistic Seventh-day Adventist understanding of the Bible’s teachings about salvation in Jesus.
• A steadfast commitment to strengthening Seventh-day Adventist identity, vision, and mission.
• A heartfelt desire to reflect the diversity of the Church within the Trans-European Division.
• A clear determination to share the good news of Jesus Christ and His soon return in ways that are biblically grounded, relevant, and culturally authentic for twenty-first-century Europe.

Thank you for being part of our ongoing story and for supporting the vital work of Newbold College of Higher Education.
