Outreach at Trinity

Events and Support

We offer a diverse and flexible programme of outreach events for schools, teachers and parents in our link regions, including outbound visits into schools and welcoming school groups to the college.

We offer a combination of online and in-person outreach events and activities, which offer students an opportunity to get a flavour of life at Trinity College and the University, and to explore academic interests in new ways. We welcome opportunities for the Trinity Access Team to work with pupils and teachers in their own school and are always delighted to help arrange for your pupils to visit Trinity College.
