History

Newbold College of higher Education was founded in 1901 as Duncombe Hall College in Holloway, North London to train church workers and ministers. It has undergone a number of name changes since. The Newbold name was taken from its Newbold Revel location to the east of Rugby, Warwickshire, during the War. Another War time Warwickshire location was Packwood House, between Solihull and Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire. In 1945 the College purchased Moor Close, the first acquisition of what would become the present-day campus. One factor for this choice was its proximity to Oxford and London. The existing campus is also within close proximity to Heathrow Airport.

Campus

The campus facilities include Salisbury Hall, Murdoch Hall, Roy Graham Library and Egremont which comprise the main academic and administration buildings. MoorClose, Keough House, Schuil House are the residence halls for student accommodation with family housing located to the north of the campus consisting of Ashgrove, Beechwood and Ceder Close. Sports facilities include a gym equipped for sports such as basketball, volleyball, floorball, football and badminton and a football pitch. Newbold Church Centre and Newbold School are also located within the campus on the south side adjacent to Moor Close Gardens.

The college hosts a local research centre of the Ellen G. White Estate, opened in 1974, and is contained in the Library. It collects and makes available material relating to the life and work of Ellen White and the theology, history and development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as a worldwide, international organisation.^[6]

Academics

Newbold has official agreements with Andrews University, the church's flagship university, Southern Adventist University^[7] and Washington Adventist University in the United States and Friedensau Adventist University in Germany^[8]. Newbold is part of the worldwide network of Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities and attracts many students who choose to purse their studies at Newbold as well as another Adventist college or university in another country.

Students without the necessary entrance requirements may take foundation courses at the nearby Bracknell and Wokingham College. The College offers a summer English programme for speakers of other languages as well as short courses throughout the academic year for EFL students.^[9]

Undergraduate degrees are offered in Business Studies^[10] and Theology/Divinity.^[11] Students may also choose to do a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree offered by Andrews University and Washington Adventist University.^[12]^[13]^[14]

Certificates^[15], Postgraduate certificates and Master's degrees are offered in Theology, Ministry and Church History.^[11]

In autumn 2005, Newbold was accredited to offer PhD research degrees in specialised areas of theology.^[11]
