About Us
Laidlaw College is a private tertiary college offering professional qualifications in Counselling and Education, as well as degrees in Theology, and Mission and Ministry. What distinguishes Laidlaw from other tertiary institutions is that theology is its core discipline.
Our mission is to equip students and scholars to renew their communities with a faith as intelligent as it is courageous.

Programmes
Over 1,200 students are currently enrolled in courses delivered both face-to-face on our Auckland and Christchurch campuses or through our distance learning and hybrid courses. The College is divided into five schools – Theology, Mission & Ministry, Education, Counselling and Postgraduate.
