The Sydney College of Divinity is broadly in the University of London tradition, which was established in 1836 as a non-teaching body to provide examinations for multiple colleges around England. When Higher Education was being introduced into Australia in the late 1840s, the promoters of the University of Sydney found this innovative multi-college model more attractive than that of the more ancient single-campus universities– especially as a way of allowing for the distinctive of the various Christian denominations to find a proper place within the university environment. As a cluster of colleges, Sydney College of Divinity continues this ecumenical and co-operative tradition to its students' great advantage.
