Rooted in its mission to deliver a values-based education inspired by its Christian heritage, Newbold College of Higher Education focuses on fostering academic achievement alongside opportunities for personal and spiritual reflection.
Over the past 120 years, Newbold has established itself as a centre for those interested in pursuing academic excellence within a framework that encourages thoughtful engagement with faith and service. Located in the heart of Berkshire, Newbold provides a supportive and inclusive environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.
Newbold’s diverse programme offerings reflect its commitment to providing holistic education. Students have the option to pursue a range of learning opportunities, including specialised pathways in ministry and spiritual leadership, from short courses, certificates and diplomas, to undergraduate and postgraduates degrees, in religion, theology, pastoral counselling, and an English Summer School. These are designed not only to equip graduates with critical skills for their chosen professions but also to inspire them to make a meaningful impact within their communities and society at large.
Steve Currow, Newbold Principal, expressed his enthusiasm for joining IHE:
