About
Trinity College in Dublin is one of the most prestigious universities in Europe. Founded in 1592, it was established similarly to Oxford and Cambridge. Located in the heart of Dublin on a campus of 43 acres, Trinity has played not only a central part in the history of the city but in that of Ireland as well. It is home to roughly 12,000 students.
The College itself is one of Ireland's major tourist attractions. The world famous Book of Kells is housed in the College. One of the largest in Europe, the Library receives all copyrighted material from Ireland and the UK. Permission from individual departments is required to take some courses but visiting international students will all study with matriculating Irish students as part of regular classes.
Ireland is a small nation that stands as the western sentinel of Europe. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, its proximity to Britain has meant a shared and often troubled history.
Getting around Ireland is easy with abundant opportunities for public transportation or car hire. Access to Europe is also cheap and easy.
Ireland is a modern country, and a member of the European Union. Dublin is not only the capital of Ireland, it is a European capital. Side by side, history stands with modern amenities. Nowhere is this truer than of Trinity College, a sixteenth-century university with a reputation as one of the finest universities in Europe today.
