Whitley College is one of the main providers of theologically focused research across the country. Our student cohort is growing, and we currently have 21 students enrolled in our PhD program. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds, vocations and contexts, and this adds to our rich and diverse research culture. Research topics are interesting and diverse, and we continue to invest significantly in this space, to offer our students the best support and experience.
