International students

Our overseas students add wonderful richness to the Trinity community, bringing diverse experiences of ministry, mission and wider church life.

Trinity’s theology programmes are all validated by either Durham University or the University of Aberdeen. They are at a high academic level, so you’ll need to look carefully at the details of exactly what academic qualifications you need for the programme in which you are interested. We also require you to have an IELTS (International English Language Test Score) of 6.5 if you’re applying for an undergraduate course and an overall IELTS score of 7 if you want to take on postgraduate work. The English language test must have been taken within the last two years.

You’ll also need to be sure that you can fund your time of study in the UK: on average it costs our international students £15,000 per year to cover fees and living expenses.

If you want more general information about the practicalities of studying in the UK, the Home Office website is a helpful place to start, or if you want to know more about studying at Trinity specifically then just get in touch with our admissions team today.
