Australian University of Theology
The Australian University of Theology (AUT), formerly known as the Australian College of Theology (ACT), is an collegiate theological university based in Sydney, New South Wales.[1] The university delivers awards in ministry and theology.[2] It is 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] and on 20 December 2024, TEQSA confirmed a decision to register the College as an Australian university.[6]
The current chair of the board is Roger Lewis.[7] The current dean is James Dalziel,[8] while the deputy dean is Edwina Murphy.[9]
The college was established by the 1891 General Synod of the Church of England in Australia and Tasmania.[10][11] 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.[12][13][14]
The ACT is a national consortium of affiliated colleges with 17 theological and Bible colleges approved to deliver its accredited courses.[15] Around 3,000 individual active students and research candidates, are enrolled in courses each year.[16]
The college became a higher education provider (HEP) under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Cth).[17] 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.[18]
As of September 2007, the college is a company limited by guarantee.
