About Sarum College

The College’s location in Salisbury Cathedral Close means that Sarum’s community of learning and hospitality is infused by a strong sense of history, and it is an attractive place to work. The learning includes: undergraduate and postgraduate ministerial formation for lay and ordained ministries validated by the University of Durham Common Awards programme; Postgraduate (PGCert, PGDip, and MA) and PhD study validated by the University of Winchester; Spiritual Direction courses; and a lively and varied short course programme. We host visitors, national and international, staying for conferences or simply for B&B. A diverse mix of people gather in the building including around meals, often sharing ideas and making new connections.

Formal education programmes at Sarum are delivered through residential, online and blended learning patterns, which combines online learning and tutoring through Zoom and residential teaching at College. The postgraduate Winchester programmes are blended with an intensive teaching week running for each module from Mondays to Thursdays. Spiritual Direction has all three delivery patterns depending on the cohort. Each of the modes are effective and offer flexibility for our students, which relies on supportive communication, usually email and phone, and careful administration.

Sarum College is an incorporated charity with a trading subsidiary called Sarum College Services Ltd. The consolidated income is around £1.8 million from a range of educational programmes, hospitality, and property income.
