The College has a tradition of providing occasional overseas scholarships for students from kindred churches, particularly from Hungary and Romania (see Unitarian Church of Transylvania). It is now part of the Partnership for Theological Education.It is to be distinguished from the only other Unitarian college in the country, which confusingly shares a similar name. What is now Harris Manchester College, Oxford started off as a dissenting academy based on the famous one in Warrington. "The Manchester Academy" or "Manchester College", named after its birthplace in 1786, kept the name when it moved to York (1804-1840), and back to Manchester (1840-1853). It then moved to the capital as "Manchester New College, London", in University Hall, Gordon Square (i.e. Dr Williams's Library) 1853–1889. Its final move was to Oxford, where it has remained, becoming in 1996 a full constituent college of Oxford University, and adding "Harris" after a donor. It was the move of the original academy to London in 1854 which occasioned the need for a separate establishment in Manchester.

Hulme Hall is a university hall of residence in Rusholme, Manchester, England, 1.5 miles south of Manchester city centre, housing 300 students from the University of Manchester. The facilities include a purpose-built lecture theatre with 300 seats (John Hartshorne Centre), the Old Dining Hall, the Library, the Chapel, the Senior Common Room and the Seminar Room. It is a Grade II listed building. It should not be confused with the historic Hulme Hall in Hulme, Manchester, on the right bank of the River Irwell, which has been demolished. The hall is one of the oldest in Manchester: it was founded in association with Owens College. It was named after the Lancashire lawyer and landowner William Hulme whose Hulme Trust funded the Hall's foundation. Houldsworth Hall, part of the Hulme Hall complex of buildings, was constructed in 1907 (Edwardian), whereas most of the local buildings are Victorian, for example the Anglican parish church (St John Chrysostom) which was built in 1874 - 1877. Local student attractions include the Whitworth Art Gallery and the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road. Birley, another building of residence has recently been seen as the most influential and important building in Hulme Hall. Notable people to have lived in this building are Theo Gerin of the house of Luxembourg and Samuel Spence the renowned composer and physicist. In recent years, there has been a feud between the Birley building and Houldsworth building over superiority, which came to a bubbling point when, in December 2020, house Birley stole the Hulme Hall Christmas tree and placed it inside Houldsworth, framing them, in what is now known as 'The Great Christmas Tree Heist'. Tensions were high between the two houses ever since then, however, after a party in Houldsworth that Birley invaded, the beef was squashed and they agreed to live amicably from then on. It is still unknown whether mind-altering substances helped aid this sudden forgiveness from both sides.
