The United Faculty of Theology (UFT) was a recognised teaching institution of the University of Divinity in Melbourne, Australia.
It was founded in 1969 as an informal association of theological colleges and ceased operating in December 2014.
[1] The UFT arose from co-operation between the theological halls (seminaries) based at Queen's College and Ormond College, respectively Methodist and Presbyterian foundations affiliated with the University of Melbourne.
In the 1960s, and even earlier, they shared resources while preparing resident theological students for the externally-examined graduate Bachelor of Divinity degree of the Melbourne College of Divinity.
In 1969 the faculty was formally created by the three halls of what later became the Pilgrim Theological College the Uniting Church, together with the Jesuit college and the theological school of Trinity College, the Anglican residential college at the University of Melbourne, agreed to form the faculty and to teach a new degree, the undergraduate Bachelor of Theology (BTheol).
