Part-time study

Trinity welcomes part-time students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as those who come to study one-off units or to attend our study days

Evening study and Certificate in Theology

We have a part-time programme on Tuesday evenings once a week and on four Saturdays per year. Each teaching unit takes place over eight weeks, with breaks for school half-terms, Christmas and Easter.

You can use this programme to study for
the two-year Part-time Certificate in Theology validated by the University of Bristol,
or for the Trinity College Foundation Certificate in Christian Studies.

If you prefer, you can simply audit a course (attend classes but not do any written work).

Part-time postgraduate study

There are numerous opportunities to follow postgraduate study on a part-time basis. This includes the taught MA programme, which can be completed part time in three years, or research degrees.
