About Brisbane College of Theology
Brisbane College of Theology
was inaugurated in 1983. It is a tertiary educational institution offering undergraduate and postgraduate awards in theology and Christian ministry. The College seeks to relate Christian theology to the mission of the church, the academic community and the wider society, in the context of intellectual endeavour appropriate to a tertiary institution.
The BCT represents a significant example of ecumenical cooperation between the Churches in the area of tertiary theological education. Its three member schools represent the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Uniting Churches. These member schools are:
- St Paul’s Theological College (Roman Catholic)
- St Francis’ Theological College (Anglican)
- Trinity Theological College (Uniting Church).
Initially, almost all students were ordinands of the three member schools. Today, the majority of students are private (ie general academic) fee-paying students who enrol for reasons of personal growth and development, rather than as preparation for ordination or commissioning to professional ministry. Today’s students are welcomed from a number of Christian denominations, in addition to those represented by the member schools.
The BCT affirms a strong commitment to providing an academic environment which is founded on ecumenical cooperation between its member schools, which meets the academic requirements of those schools, and which promotes the study of Christian faith and its implications for contemporary life.
All BCT programs are accredited by the Queensland Minister for Education and Training, and therefore they are recognised both nationally and internationally as equivalent in standard to programs in public universities.
