Why Trinity Hall?
At Trinity Hall, you’ll become part of a College with a long tradition of important archaeological research with graduates contributing to major discoveries as far back as the 1890s, when Alfred Percival Maudslay pioneered the archaeological study of the Maya ruins.
You’ll be supported academically by a dedicated internal Director of Studies, while also benefiting from a strongly interdisciplinary environment.
Archaeologists here regularly engage with students and scholars in Classics, Anthropology and the Natural Sciences, creating a wider community that enriches your perspective.
