Trinity College: long history, fresh approach

When you study at Trinity College, you’ll be following in the footsteps of famous writers such as Swift, Goldsmith, Wilde and Beckett, and Ireland's former presidents Douglas Hyde and Mary Robinson.

With an impressive academic record spanning over 400 years, Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland and one of the older universities of Western Europe. Despite being grounded in history, the university is progressive and committed to making important contributions to the world in which we live. These days it attracts a large number of international students from over 90 countries, making it an academically and socially exciting multicultural college.

Trinity prides itself on its tradition of personal contact between staff and students. Its 17,000 staff and students form a compact academic community, with several hundred students and a number of staff living on campus. The college houses a range of facilities — dining hall, cafeterias and bars — and offers a varied social life sustained by a host of student societies and sporting clubs.

The campus is set in the heart of Dublin City and is one of Ireland's major tourist attractions. In addition to a beautiful campus and an impressive history, Trinity offers one of Europe’s largest libraries and a highly regarded international faculty and research community.

Dublin has much to offer the international student. With one of the youngest populations of Europe's major cities, Dublin offers a great atmosphere for students. While the city houses a range of fashionable boutiques and upmarket restaurants, it’s also well catered for in second-hand bookshops, street markets, fast food outlets and all kinds of ethnic eateries — many located in the Temple Bar area opposite the front entrance to the College.

Dublin is the hub of the Republic and is within easy reach of the renowned scenic areas of Cork, Kerry, Clare and Galway. For vacation travel, few European capitals are more than two hours away by direct flights.
