In addition to a rigorous application to mastering the knowledge,
understanding and skills base of the Christian Faith, we seek as broad and deep
an understanding of the philosophies, religions and cultures of the world we
live in as is possible within the time constraints of the courses.
God has revealed himself in order that we might know him, enjoy him and
serve him, so our teaching and learning takes place in a context of faith and
commitment - “faith seeking understanding of itself” (Anselm). This aspect of
our educational method expresses itself in
• a culture of consciously and deliberately learning from Christ.
• the evangelical commitment of teachers.
• the Christian commitment of the students.
• a mutual concern for spiritual growth amongst students, teachers and
staff.
• worship, prayer and fellowship within the formal and informal life of the
College.
Language Policy
The primary teaching and learning mode at GWC is through contact lectures in
the English language. It is therefore necessary for prospective students to be
proficient in English - reading, writing and comprehension. The college
reserves the right to require a language examination of its choice as a
prerequisite to admission.
Foreign students who have English as a second language may be required to
complete a TOEFKL test (or similar) to prove proficiency in English at a level
suitable for academic study. The requirement is IELTS - 6.5 overall and 6.0 for
the written element. This is equivalent to 232 in the computerised TOEFL test,
575 in the written TOEFL test or 90 - 91 in the internet based TOEFL test.
Equivalent English language qualifications may be accepted. The following link
will enable you to find out more about the IELTS and TOEFL tests and will
