University of Manchester

Greetings all!

I'm wondering if anyone has any info in regard to how UofM works. I'll be finishing divinity school next summer and will be entering pastoral ministry. However, I'm interested in getting a PhD. I'm not really interested in being a college/seminary professor but more like a pastor-scholar. I want to serve in the church, but also do academic research for the church. I'm interested in UofM for two reasons: They offer a PhD that can be done part time. This will allow me to remain in my parish setting. Also, they have two colleges associated with them that are Wesleyan: Nazarene Theological College and Cliff College, both offering the PhD.

So, what are some thoughts about UofM? What't the relationship between the two mentioned colleges and Manchester? Which grants the degree?

Thanks for any information!

While you may garner some useful opinions from responses on this board, I would wager that the most accurate information regarding the conferring of degrees and the relationship with the colleges will come from UofM itself.
