The college offers a full range of courses in Theology. Courses are delivered in partnership with both the University of Cumbria and Queen's University Belfast.[1] The Belfast Bible College is also a constituent college of the Institute of Theology at Queen's University Belfast.[2] Following Queen's decision to end the validating of programmes through the institute from 2019, as a result degrees are awarded just by Cumbria.[3]

The College does not belong to any single denomination but is a community drawn from 20 different denominations and 25 different countries.

The 2011 graduation took place in St. Annes Cathedral, Belfast, in attendance was the Lord Mayor of Belfast.[4]

gollark: AV1 is better from a licensing perspective, and more bitrate-efficient than H.265.
gollark: Like how even though H.265 is better than H.264 in basically every way, half the internet is stuck on H.264 because ??? licensing ????? Chromium.
gollark: Anyway, obviously the round earth is a superior technical solution, but you can bodge the flat-earth thing into *kind of* working and the patent issues make it much cheaper.
gollark: No, a point is dimensionless.
