Trinity College (full name: The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the University of Oxford, of the foundation of Sir Thomas Pope (Knight)^[5]) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford^[6] in England. The college was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas Pope, on land previously occupied by Durham College, home to Benedictine monks from Durham Cathedral.^[7]

Despite its large physical size, the college is relatively small in terms of student numbers at approximately 400. It was founded as a men's college and has been coeducational since 1979.^[8] As of 2022, the total funds of Trinity amounted to £212 million, including a financial endowment of £181 million.^[9]

Trinity has produced three British prime ministers, placing it third after Christ Church and Balliol in terms of former students who have held that office.^[10]
