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]
