The University brings together a diverse and supportive community of students and faculty in the heart of the city. Our accessible and dedicated professors encourage students to actively engage in University life and the city beyond the campus gates. Student life at Trinity is about much more than education: with 172 sports clubs and societies ranging from athletics to tennis, debating to investing, and drama to science fiction, there is something to suit every interest. Find out more about student life at Trinity: www.tcd.ie/students/clubs-societies.
Trinity is one of the world’s only universities to provide all undergraduate students with a personal Tutor – a dedicated faculty member who can offer academic, personal and professional guidance throughout the four-year degree programme. A wide range of student services, including learning development and support, peer mentoring, counselling and career advice, ensures that all students have the support they need to succeed in Trinity and beyond.
Trinity has strategic relationships with some of the most prestigious universities in the world and actively encourages students to undertake a study abroad experience. For Trinity students, this means access to a network of more than 300 exchange opportunities across the globe. You can choose to embark on an Erasmus exchange within Europe to places like Spain, France or Germany, or go further afield on a Non-EU exchange to destinations like the US, India or Australia. These opportunities will help you acquire a global perspective on your studies to succeed in a globally competitive workplace throughout your career. Find out more: www.tcd.ie/study/study-abroad

Trinity also encourages innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit, providing incubation programmes for student-led companies, and has been named as Europe’s leading university for producing entrepreneurs for the past six successive years (PitchBook Universities Report 2020).
Trinity’s enviable location positions the University right in the heart of the hub of global business activity – Ireland’s Silicon Valley – where students are recruited for internships, summer jobs and graduate careers from employers who look to Trinity as a key provider of top-quality graduates. The European headquarters of companies such as Google, eBay, AirBnB, Microsoft, PayPal, LinkedIn and Facebook, Dublin is an ideal place for students and graduates interested in working in these world-leading corporations.
As an international student, you can work part-time during your studies. On graduation, undergraduate students have the possibility to stay in Ireland to work for one year on the Third Level Graduate Scheme, while eligible postgraduate students can stay for up to two years. This allows students to gain work experience opportunities in Ireland in a wide range of industries and organisations. Students may also have the option of remaining in Ireland for a longer period if they are able to secure employment that meets the criteria for a Work Permit. In addition, the US-Ireland Working Holiday Agreement provides a separate one-year work permit for US students, who can apply for this within 12 months of graduating.
With over 130,000 alumni, Trinity’s tradition of independent intellectual inquiry has produced some of the world’s finest, most enquiring minds including the writers Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett (Nobel laureates), the scientists William Rowan Hamilton and Ernest Walton (Nobel laureates), the political thinker Edmund Burke, and the former President of Ireland and UNHCR Mary Robinson. This tradition finds expression today in a campus culture of scholarship, innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and dedication to societal reform.
