MALYON COLLEGE
At Malyon we recognise that the world is changing. These are times of great challenge and
opportunity. Our commitment is to raising up a generation of influential Christians who
have a strong biblical base, skills in leadership and ministry, and a heart for God.
We have been training Christian leaders for over 100 years, and we’ve learnt a few things
about theological training. Our graduates are serving all over the world as pastors, crosscultural workers, workplace leaders, chaplains, church leaders and theological faculty.
Malyon offers full-time and part-time study options through lecture, intensive and distance
modes. We have excellent resources for students including a large library, wireless internet
and 24 hour access to the campus. All our awards are accredited through the Australian
College of Theology.
The Australian College of Theology
The ACT was established under the auspices of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia in 1891.
The ACT is a company limited by guarantee governed by a nine-member Board of Directors. The Anglican
Primate of Australia presides as the chairman of meetings of the company which consists of 54 persons (in
2010). The ACT is an Australasian provider of state accredited higher education courses leading to awards in
theology and other disciplines related to Christian ministry. The ACT operates as an ecumenical consortium of
some 2,500 students enrolled in 19 Bible and theological colleges approved to teach the awards of the ACT.
These awards range from two-year diplomas, three-year undergraduate and coursework masters degrees to
masters and doctoral research degrees.
The ACT has a centrally devised and managed curriculum and a quality assurance process that are applied
across the whole network of affiliated colleges. The day-to-day educational system is managed by the Dean
from the ACT office in Sydney. Academic governance is the responsibility of the Academic Board which
oversees all academic activities of the College. The standing committees of the Academic Board share this
responsibility by monitoring the quality of delivery and resourcing, developing policy, and reviewing the course
structure for research, coursework and diploma courses. The membership of the Academic Board and its
committees is comprised mostly of faculty members of affiliated colleges. A number of senior university
academics are represented to help ensure that ACT practice (especially in the outcome of the consideration of
research examiner’s reports and general academic policy) remains comparable with the standards of and best
practice in the university sector.
As a HEP under the Higher Education Support Act, the College was required to undergo a quality audit
conducted by the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA). The AUQA Audit Report was publicly released
on the AUQA website in February 2007.
In 2010 the company consists of 54 members composed in the following way:
(1)
the Anglican Primate of Australian and the Dean of the ACT,
(2)
the principals of 10 Anglican Theological Colleges,
(3)
21 persons elected by the House of Bishops of the General Synod,
(4)
the principals of 11 affiliated colleges approved to deliver the research degrees of the ACT,
(5)
5 graduates holding an ACT research degree,
(6)
5 graduates holding any other degree of the ACT.
