Postgraduate Admissions

How can you choose a College based on thirty-one similar descriptions? The Colleges all offer minor variations; but after you have lived in Cambridge for a while you will recognise substantial differences.

Trinity Hall claims excellent facilities, and a privileged location. However, the defining feature of our exceptionally active MCR (as our graduate members agree) is the truly buoyant, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Many factors contribute: a good relationship between senior and junior members, and between graduates and undergraduates; a very large ratio of graduates to undergraduates (the highest for any of the traditional Colleges, with a large and vibrant graduate population); and an MCR with entertainment of all kinds – social, sporting and intellectual.

Trinity Hall is one of the older Colleges (founded in 1350). As well as its beautiful city-centre site running down to the river, we have a campus (Wychfield) in the north of the city set in the lovely gardens of an elegant old house, near to the maths and many of the science faculties, where much of our graduate accommodation is to be found.

Perhaps recognising the importance to a community of eating together, Trinity Hall has a reputation for excellent food. Weekly formal dinners specifically for the graduate community are fully booked, and are typically followed by a visit to the lively College bar.

The experience of Trinity Hall is of the best Cambridge has to offer – international, beautiful, the old and the new, the social and the academic, and a community of friendship that stands the test of time.
