A unique choice: context-based or college-based training

At Trinity we offer a unique choice: you can train as a 'college-based' student or as a 'context-based' student.

The main differences are in where you will live and how you do your practical work.  Both tracks gain the same academic qualifications.

If you are a college-based student you will live in college if you are single, or fairly near if you are married.  You will do your practical work in a variety of settings and with different teams of students or individually.

If you are a context-based student you will live in the context community, and will do most of your practical training and most of your reflection on practice in the context area, working closely with your Trinity team, supervisors and tutor.

We hope that you will feel a definite call to one track or the other.
