Zomba Theological College is a theological seminary in Zomba, Malawi. It has been operated since 1977 by the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian for training ministry candidates for the Nkhoma, Livingstonia, Harare, Zambia, and Blantyre Synods.[1][2] The principal is Takuze Chitsulo.[3] Anglican candidates joined in 1978 but left in 2006, when Leonard Kamungu Theological College was formed.[4] As of 2018, degrees were accredited by the University of Malawi.[5]

ZTC partnered with the University of Aberdeen in 2016, whereby students could study for an MTh degree.[6][7][8]
