Trinity College - The University of Melbourne

History

Trinity College was founded in 1870 by the first Anglican Bishop of Melbourne, Charles Perry. Students were in residence by 1872. The college was affiliated with the University of Melbourne in 1876. The Trinity College Theological School was founded by Bishop James Moorhouse in 1877.

In 1883 the college became the first university college in Australia to admit women when Lilian Helen Alexander was accepted as a non-resident student. With the establishment of the Trinity Women's Hostel (which later became Janet Clarke Hall) in 1886, Trinity admitted women as resident students, making it the first university college in Australia to do so.

In 1989 the Trinity College Foundation Studies program was established to prepare international students for entry to the University of Melbourne.

Since 2001, Trinity has also offered summer school programs to high school age students from around Australia and internationally. In 2010 the college hosted its first Juilliard Winter Jazz School, which was repeated in 2011.

Important Facts

You'll live on a beautiful campus in the best location

We're conveniently located next door to the University of Melbourne (don't underestimate the value of a sleep in!) and are lucky to have stunningly beautiful grounds, which you could soon call home. Click the below video and one of our students will show you around.

Everything is tailored to undergraduates

There’s something special about living at Trinity College. For one, we are the only residential college at the University of Melbourne that specializes in undergraduate students. That means everyone is in the same boat – our students are generally around the same age, living away from home for the first time and studying for a bachelor's degree, so they have plenty in common right from the get-go.

We have a graduate program available off-campus. This program plays a small but special role in the college – with postgrad students providing student mentoring and study hall supervision to support our undergraduates throughout the year. Unfortunately, we don't currently offer a non-residential program. 

Making friends is easy

We know from years of experience that before arriving at college, many students feel a little nervous. They think, will I fit in? Will I make friends? Will I be able to find help if I need it? Don’t worry, if you move to Trinity, the answer is YES! 

Making friends from across Melbourne, Australia and the world is one of the greatest things about living at Trinity, and we have some of the best academic and wellbeing support programs (and food!) on campus.

Because we're not too big and not too small (we have around 380 students in 2020, following the opening of our beautiful new building), getting to know people during study sessions, by sharing meals in the dining room, and through sport, music, parties and other activities is easy. Our students come from all walks of life and have a range of interests, so you're bound to find many people you connect with.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience

Students come to Trinity because they are looking for more than just somewhere to sleep. They want to make lasting friendships, share experiences, and further their academic and cultural pursuits.

You don't want to leave uni feeling like you didn't make the most of it, because this is a precious time of your life that you'll never get back.

Students at Trinity live a #noregrets life, given they get to put their hand up for all sorts of activities and events while getting support for their studies and having a fabulously fun time in the process.
