Trinity College

A place to connect

Trinity is world-facing, Oxford-facing and street-facing. We look out onto the Bodleian, one of the greatest libraries in the world. You are just a few steps from science, round the corner from departments like engineering or maths. You are also close to the main teaching and research hubs in the humanities and social sciences.
