Trinity College Dublin offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses across all major disciplines such as arts and humanities, business, law, engineering, science, maths and health sciences. 

Trinity’s 47-acre campus is in the heart of Dublin, a safe and charming European capital city.  The University’s central location allows students partake in a prestigious academic programme coupled with access to a variety of cultural and social experiences. An array of museums, theatres, cafes, restaurants and historic sites are in close proximity to the university. The University has a strong tradition of intellectual enquiry, scholarship and creativity, inspiring a love of learning for over 400 years.  Notable alumni include scientists William Rowan Hamilton, Ernest Walton and William Campbell (Nobel laureates), political thinker Edmund Burke, writers Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett (Nobel laureates), and former President of Ireland and UNHCR Mary Robinson. 

Trinity is ranked as the 17th most international university in the world (Times Higher Education Rankings 2020). Students and staff hail from over 120 countries and 28% of students are from outside of Ireland, making it a truly international campus. International students can work part-time during their studies. On graduation, undergraduate students have the option to remain in Ireland to work for one year on the Third Level Graduate Scheme. Eligible postgraduate students can stay for up to two years. This provides students opportunities for work experience in industries and organisations in Ireland. Students may also be allowed remain in Ireland for a longer period if they secure employment that meets the criteria for a Work Permit. 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.

Finding a Place

Organising accommodation online is one of the easiest things to do. Always organise a viewing in person, to make sure the place is up to standard. Some of the best places to start your search are:

daft.ie

rent.ie

tcd.ie/communications/noticeboard

collegecribs.ie

myhome.ie

property.ie

Note: there have been reports of fake accommodation offered through many property websites. If you feel as though a property is suspect, get in touch with the company, and ask them to verify the property. Do not transfer any money until you have viewed the property in person yourself
