The University’s Mission and Strategic Priorities Background Sample Clauses

The University’s Mission and Strategic Priorities Background. MCD University of Divinity is unique in Australia: it is the only Australian University of Specialisation on the National Register, and it is the only collegiate university in Australia. Founded as the Melbourne College of Divinity in 1910 by the Victorian Parliament to award degrees, diplomas and certificates in divinity and its associated disciplines, MCD became a University of Specialisation on 1 January 2012 with self-accrediting authority in the field of Philosophy and Religious Studies. MCD is made up of ten Colleges, eight in Victoria, one in South Australia, and one in New South Wales. All academic staff and students join the University through one of its Colleges. Each College operates under the auspices or in partnership with a church or religious order, including national and international links. MCD is a private higher education provider and receives funds from the Commonwealth principally through Research Block Grants and FEE-HELP. In consequence of its new status, in 2012 the University's Council approved a new Vision, Mission, and Graduate Attributes, together with a series of Strategic Goals for the period 2013 - 2015, under the theme 'Strengthening our Collegiate University'. Our vision is that 'Together we empower our learning community to address the issues of the contemporary world through critical engagement with Christian theological traditions. Our mission specifies that 'We fulfil our vision through excellence in learning, teaching, and research; stewardship of our resources; and engagement with the churches and community in Australia and internationally.' Our mission also affirms that 'We demonstrate how to live in unity with diversity', reflecting the unusual degree of co-operation across religious differences expressed in the collegiate structure of the University. The Vision and Mission reflect MCD's two distinctive features: firstly, that its core business is in one broad field of education, Philosophy and Religious Studies; secondly, its collegiate structure, enabling many partners to join in one enterprise. The Vision and Mission give renewed priority to engagement with the world beyond the University, in particular in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. This will be achieved through strengthening existing partnerships and building new ones with churches and religious orders, and agencies associated with them, always within an ethos of service that is fundamental to the study of divinity.
