Visiting Scholars
The College’s academic atmosphere is greatly enriched by the presence of distinguished international Visiting Scholars, who choose to stay at Trinity while they are undertaking research or teaching at the University of Melbourne. These academic visitors willingly engage with students, presenting seminars and talks on their own fields of expertise, answering students’ questions, and challenging and inspiring them. They include Nobel Laureates and others who have distinguished themselves by their academic endeavour in a wide range of disciplines.
