Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox university The Australian College of Theology (ACT) is an Australian higher education provider based in Sydney, New South Wales.[1] The college delivers awards in ministry and theology.[2] It is now one of two major consortia of theological colleges in Australia,[3] alongside the University of Divinity. Over 23,000 people have graduated since the foundation of the college.[4] On 7 October 2022 it was granted university college status by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.[5]

The current chair of the board is Roger Lewis.[6] The current dean is James Dalziel,[7] while the deputy dean is Edwina Murphy.[8]

History

The college was established by the 1891 General Synod of the Church of England in Australia and Tasmania.[9][10] The college was founded in order to provide for the "systematic study of divinity", especially among clergy and ordination candidates, there being no realistic opportunities for them to earn a Bachelor of Divinity (BD) degree at English universities and Australian universities refusing to offer theological education.[11][12][13]

The ACT is a national consortium of affiliated colleges with 17 theological and Bible colleges approved to deliver its accredited courses.[14] Around 3,000 individual active students and research candidates, are enrolled in courses each year.[15]

The college became a higher education provider (HEP) under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Cth).[16] As a HEP, the ACT administers the FEE-HELP program, by which students enrolled in accredited higher education courses of the ACT may receive a loan for their tuition fees.[17]

As of September 2007, the college is a company limited by guarantee.[18]

In addition, as a HEP under the Higher Education Support Act, the ACT was required to undergo a quality audit conducted by the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA). In November 2006, the college was the first non-self-accrediting HEP to be audited. The AUQA audit report was completed in January 2007 and publicly released on the AUQA website in February 2007.[19][20] The process was repeated in 2011 and the college underwent a Cycle 2 quality audit by AUQA. The report of the audit was publicly released on the website of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency in March 2012.[21]

In 2010, the college received self-accrediting authority.[22] This means that the college can accredit its own courses in theology and ministry within the scope of the self-accrediting authority specified by the Department of Education and Training in New South Wales.[23] The college is currently accredited by TEQSA through till 2025.[24]

On 7 October 2022 it was granted university college status by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.[25]
