Trinity Online

Enrichment Programme 2026

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 2026 Enrichment Programme. 

Taking place online at 4.30-5.30pm on Tuesdays from Tuesday 10 March 2026, 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;
  • Leadership and input from our student ambassadors with their first-hand insights as applicants and current students at the University of Oxford;
  • Workshops on university admissions, including the key skill of personal statement writing, to help university applicants to present and reflect on their enrichment experiences as positively as possible.

‘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.’
