*************

Cliff College is a Christian theological college in Calver, Derbyshire, that 'teaches' Biblical Theology at undergraduate level and a number of mission courses to postgraduates. There are currently about 60 full-time undergraduates, 40 part-time undergraduates and 100 part-time postgraduates. There are also a number of research (MPhil and PhD) students and full-time postgraduates enrolled at the College. College courses up to and including MA level are validated by University of Manchester, and students at higher levels are jointly enrolled at both institutions.

Cliff College was established in 1883. The founder, Henry Grattan Guinness, was motivated by the prior 'success' of Harley College, which had then outgrown its site in Bromley-by-Bow. For a time, the new institution was known as "Hulme Cliff College" after Elizabeth Hulme, who had donated "Cliff House" in Curbar, Derbyshire, England to further Guinness's work. Today, again called 'Cliff College', the school 'trains' undergraduate and post-graduate students at their campus in Calver, Derbyshire.

In the later 19th Century, many of the college's graduates worked with Hudson Taylor and his China Inland Mission as missionaries. Many Cliff College graduates still choose to do Christian missionary and evangelistic work both in the United Kingdom and abroad.

The well-known Wesleyan Minister and theologian Samuel Chadwick was principal of the college from 1913 to 1932.

Since the summer of 2008, the Principal of Cliff College has been Chris Blake. Steven Skuce and Phil Meadows currently run the postgraduate department, to be joined in June 2009 by Steve Emery-Wright. Peter Ensor, and David Firth teach the full-time undergraduate courses, while Ian White runs the part-time undergraduate youth and children's ministry courses. Piers Lane teaches on both the part-time and full-time undergraduate courses. The vast majority of undergraduate degrees are validated by the University of Manchester.

Each year, over the May Whitsun Bank Holiday, Cliff College holds an annual festival at which the community and its visitors participate in such activities as Interactive Bible Studies and seminars conducted by tutors of the college. This festival is held on the college's campus in the Hope Valley of the Peak District National Park, near Sheffield and Chesterfield.
