Trinity College is the oldest college of the University of Melbourne. Founded in 1872 on a site granted to the Church of England as a residential college of the University of Melbourne, Trinity is unique among Australian university colleges in the diversity of its education programs because, in addition to its resident community of around 300 University of Melbourne and MCD University of Divinity students, Trinity manages three other major educational programs: Trinity College Foundation Studies, which prepares 700–800 international students for admission to the University of Melbourne annually; the Trinity College Theological School, an Anglican theological college affiliated with the MCD University of Divinity; and the Trinity Institute, which runs summer and winter schools for young leaders, as well as other learning and leadership programs.
