What's new
Trinity College Dublin is continually renewing the programmes that it offers at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, across many fields including business, law, engineering, science, arts and the humanities.
The college has recently developed a new joint Honours Degree which combines the subjects of computer science and geography, in order to deliver a challenging and innovative learning pathway for the environmental pioneers of tomorrow. As Computer science and Geography at Trinity College are both ranked among the top 100 of their kind worldwide, students will find themselves at the meeting point of two world-class departments. Upon graduating, students will be equipped with an invaluable set of skills through which they can rise to the pressing need for sustainable innovation.
Trinity College Dublin has also recently launched an Environmental Science & Engineering integrated degree. This four-year course is available with an additional postgraduate year, and aims to develop multi-skilled, adaptable graduates who have the confidence and abilities to develop cutting-edge solutions to the challenges of safeguarding and enhancing the environment.
In addition, the university has launched a number of new programmes to the Columbia University Dual BA programme, in conjunction with Columbia University in New York, USA. This flagship programme gives students a unique educational experience during their undergraduate studies in association with a world-renowned partner university.
Teaching quality
Trinity was founded in 1592 and modeled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is a research-led teaching university. Trinity is a member of the exclusive League of European Research Universities (LERU), a group of 23 institutions that excel in academic research. It is the only Irish university represented.
Rated as a Best Regional College by the Princeton Review 2019, Trinity College Dublin provides an unparalleled education to innovative students looking to push boundaries. A myriad of opportunities are available for students to learn from and be inspired by global leaders, as well as benefit from some of the world’s greatest libraries and research centres.
Classes are in the form of lectures, tutorials and practicals. Lecture theatres can hold over 150 people, and small group tutorials can have around 15–20 students. Some courses have fewer students in each class, and modules in the third and fourth years of study can be much smaller. Tutorials are more informal and allow discussion and collaboration.
Courses are designed in light of university research and the needs of the world, and students are given the opportunity to specialise in the final years of their studies. This includes the option to pursue an individual research project.
Many courses also include the chance to study at an esteemed university overseas.
