Trinity College was founded 1592, and is the single constituent college of the University of Dublin, Though long established, Trinity College has maintained a strong tradition of scholarship and research which adapts effectively to the needs of successive generations. Ranking highest of Ireland's Universities in terms of research, Trinity College is also an intimate part of the city at whose heart it stands, crossed by hundreds of Dubliners who use it as a daily thoroughfare.
The vigour of a university may be judged by its commitment to research. In the early twenty-first century, this often takes the form of partnership with major international companies or of inter-institutional co-operation within the framework of programmes of the European community, and in both Trinity is in a leading position in Ireland. The Library is the heart of research activity, and here Trinity is particularly fortunate. With a collection of approximately 4.25 million volumes, the College Library is one of the largest in Europe. Along with the British Library in London and the university libraries at Oxford and Cambridge, it enjoys the privilege of receiving all Irish and U.K. copyright material.
Trinity prides itself also on its tradition of personal contact between staff and students, encouraged by its collegiate atmosphere. Its staff and students form a compact academic community, with several hundred students and a number of staff living on campus. There are some 4,800 postgraduate students, some 1,600 of these being PhD students and 3,200 reading for taught masters or Postgraduate Diploma courses. College provides a complete daytime environment, with a range of facilities - dining hall, cafeterias and bars - and a varied social life sustained by a host of student societies and sports clubs.
The University offers a wide range of programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level across its three Faculties:
- Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
- Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Science
- Faculty of Health Science
In addition, College admits Visiting Students for an academic year, (or for one or two terms). Details of courses offered and research opportunities available can be found on the websites of the various Schools.
