International Students

Approximately one quarter of Trinity's undergraduate resident students have permanent home addresses outside Australia. Currrently there are students from China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates in residence, as well as exchange students from the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.

After accepting an offer of a place at the University of Melbourne, International students follow the same application process as local students.

Application Process

• Apply to the University of Melbourne as an International student.
• Accept the offer from the University.
• Read the University's information on arrival services for overseas students.
• Apply directly to Trinity College for a residential place as outlined below.
  

Applying for a residential place at Trinity College is an easy, three-stage process.

1. Application Form

• Complete the on-line College Residency Application Form.
  

Note that this form is used for application to ALL colleges at the University of Melbourne. This form can be submitted at any time, but is usually sent to Trinity College around October.

After completing the on-line application you will be asked to print and sign a transcript of your submission. You must then post this transcript with the application fee of $AUS25 and four passport-sized photographs of yourself to the College of your first preference. Your application will not be complete until these have been received.

2. Written Statements

After your application form has been received, the College will contact you requesting:

• a hand-written statement about yourself, indicating your interests, ambitions and reasons for applying to Trinity College.
• one academic and one personal referee to complete a written reference and return this directly to the College.

3. Interview

• Take part in a short interview with a member of the residential College staff.

The interview can be arranged for any convenient time, but is normally undertaken between September and December. For applicants who live interstate or overseas and are unable to attend an interview in Melbourne, a telephone interview can be arranged.
