How to apply

 

1. Applications from those who want to complete a full-time undergraduate degree [see below * for a definition of this], diploma or certificate and who are not training for Church of England ordained ministry:

  • We prefer to admit those who have had some experience, such as a gap year, after school because almost all our students are over the age of 21. If you are a school leaver who is interested in studying at Trinity, please do get in touch with us to discuss the options. Candidates under the age of 21 are normally expected to have three A levels with a minimum of B grades.
  • For mature students, greater weight is placed on references, interviews and other evidence of movitation and intellectual capacity rather than on formal educational qualifications.
  • The deadline for applications for British students for admission in September 2013 is 1 July 2013. 
  • Contact Nicola Willcocks for an information pack and application form.
  • Fill in one of our application forms and mail it to us.

2.  Applications from full-time Church of England ordinands:

  • If you are considering training for ordained ministry, you may like to look at Ministry in the Church of England and our Ordination page.
  • We encourage potential ordiands to apply to Trinity before attending a Bishop's Advisory Panel (BAP), provided that your Diocesan Director of Ordinands (DDO) has given you permission to start looking at colleges. This enables us to process your application and arrange a convenient interview date for you. 
  • Interviews are held on Thursdays during term time and provide an opportunity to attend worship and a lecture and to be shown round by students. There is an informal interview with two members of faculty plus a meeting to discuss practical topics such as accommodation, schools, living in Bristol, etc. Spouses are encouraged to come too. 
  • Contact Nicola Willcocks for an ordinands' information pack and application form.
  • Fill in one of our application forms and mail it to us.
