TEQSA registers Australian College of Theology as University College

The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) has decided to register the Australian College of Theology as a University College.

The TEQSA Commission made this decision after the presentation of new evidence, following a previous decision by TEQSA in July 2021.

TEQSA Chief Commissioner Professor Peter Coaldrake AO said the national higher education regulator accepted that the Australian College of Theology now meets the standards for registration as a University College.

The University College category was established in July 2021 following reforms to the categorisation of Australian higher education providers.

The Australian College of Theology was founded in 1891 and was granted self-accrediting authority in 2010. It has approximately 3,000 students enrolled in courses in Theology, Ministry and Christian Studies.
