Alumni

We hope our former students and colleagues regard themselves as ongoing, life-long members of the University’s Divinity Department. We are proud to list so many notable theologians and church people from around the world among our former students and colleagues, as well as those who have gone off to careers in teaching, charitable work, the law, the civil service, and so many other fields.

We are always keen to hear from our former students and colleagues. Please do get in touch with your details so we can ensure you hear about the exciting things that are going on in the department.
