Scholarships

To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:

Employability

Trinity ranks in the top 100 in the world for Graduate Employability (QS World University Graduate Employability Rankings 2022) and is committed to preparing its students for the ever-changing challenges of the 21st century workplace. It is also the highest ranking university in Ireland on the list of Best Universities for Graduate Jobs (THE Global Employability University Ranking 2023-24) Find out more about careers: www.tcd.ie/careers/students

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.
