YWAM offers training programs in over 300 locations and 110 nations. YWAM's global university is called the University of the Nations (U of N). Each of the U of N locations is committed to discipling men and women, while equipping them with the professional skills necessary to serve and to reach the world for Christ.

   The U of N offers training for people involved with cross-cultural work and/or Christian ministry through studies in Arts, Christian Ministries, Communications, Counseling & Health Care, Education, Humanities & International Studies, and Science & Technology. The university seeks to combine traditional classroom learning with a discipleship atmosphere and practical mission-field experience. The University of the Nations hosts many students from around the globe who come to study a variety of subjects. While there are seven main campuses internationally, hundreds of individual YWAM locations host U of N schools.

   To apply for a U of N course, you must first complete the Discipleship Training School (DTS) and then search the UofN.edu site for other training opportunities that interest you or read the U of N catalog (via the U of N web site). Once you've found a training program that interests you, you can apply or get more information directly from the location offering that school.

Go to the University of the Nations website

   Once the student has completed the DTS or CDTS he or she may take advantage of the wide variety of courses the U of N offers. These courses are designed to equip the student to serve God more effectively in fulfilling the Great Commission.
   A student does not need to be registered in a degree programme to take U of N courses for which he or she is qualified. Students may take schools in any of the various Colleges/Faculties and locations that best fit their ministry goals. To be admitted to a U of N course, an applicant must provide proof of the ability to do university-level course work in the language in which the course is offered.
   This approach to education offers students the flexibility to pursue those areas of study which are beneficial for reaching their career goals. Students are encouraged to be obedient to the call of God as they seek the skills necessary to pursue their God-given ministry.
   All U of N courses are given a special number preceded by a three letter designator which indicates the College/Faculty or Centre/Institute that offers the course:

    CTA College/Faculty of the Arts
    CCM College/Faculty of Christian Ministries
    COM College/Faculty of Communication
