Trinity Online

Enrichment Programme 2025

Online Enrichment

At Trinity

Academic Enrichment lies at the heart of much of what we do, and we are delighted to launch Trinity Beyond the Classroom, our 2025 Enrichment Programme. 

Taking place online at 4.30-5.30pm on Wednesdays, this programme offers students: 

  • A look at why and how they might easily take part in academic enrichment;
  • Academic taster and department subject talks with the opportunity for guests to ask questions and take part in interactive polls;
  • Study skills sessions from our resident academic support expert;
  • Workshops on the key skill of personal statement writing, to help university applicants to present and reflect on their enrichment experiences as positively as possible. 

New for our 2025 programme, Year 12 students applying have the opportunity to apply for our Extension Programme with the following additional benefits:

  • a free academic enrichment residential at Trinity during the Easter Holidays Thursday the 10th to Friday the 11th April 2025;
  • online mini tutorials in your degree subject of interest;
  • suggested reading and other subject enrichment material;
  • enhanced guidance and support with your application.

Applications for the Extension Programme 2025 are now closed.

‘The talk was very interesting, and as someone who doesn’t know much about politics, it really demonstrated how fascinating the field could be. Also, it definitely surprised me that political scientists use mathematical models, and gave me a better understanding of research in this field.’
