The Melbourne College of Divinity (MCD) is a theological college located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The MCD is an ecumenical co-operation between a number of denominations. It is located in Kew, Victoria and is affiliated with the University of Melbourne. The college was constituted by a 1910 Act of the Parliament of Victoria. The act was amended in 1956, 1972 and 1990. The college is one of three in Australia that are self-accrediting issuers of degrees, while not also being a university. In 2010 the MCD applied to the Victorian Regulation and Qualifications Authority for Specialist University Status. The outcome of this application is still pending. The MCD was affiliated with the University of Melbourne in 1993. It retains its autonomy and degree conferring status. In 2001 the college was listed as a Schedule 1 Higher Education Institution by the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training. It is now eligible to receive federal funding for research, Australian Postgraduate Research Awards and International Postgraduate Research Scholarships.
