We have a long and distinguished record in research, teaching and postgraduate supervision.

Several processes support our goal of excellence in teaching, learning and research.

The foundation of New College was the product of the zeal that arose from religious conflict.

Each year the School of Divinity awards several Visiting Fellowships.

New College Library has one of the largest theology libraries in the UK.

New College is one of three colleges where candidates for the Church of Scotland may study theology.
