FIE has partnered with Trinity College Dublin, an institution ranked in the top 100 of higher education institutions worldwide, to present a semester-long program combining direct enrollment at Trinity with FIE’s unique Irish Life and Cultures course.
Add some pep to your step as you walk across a beautiful cobblestoned campus — pop in your earbuds and press “play” on your favorite U2 (or Enya, the Cranberries, Van Morrison, Glen Hansard… you get the drill!) song. You’re studying at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), an internationally renowned Irish university. Hit “replay” again and cross your fingers for a glimpse of Bono himself!
ABOUT TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN
Trinity College Dublin (TCD), founded way-back-when in 1592, continues tirelessly to build on its four-hundred-year-old tradition of prestigious scholarship to affirm its position as one of the great universities of the world. With over 400 courses from a variety of disciplines to choose from, the university’s liberal environment encourages its students to value independence of thought. Staff and students — including Trinity College Dublin international students — are nurtured to exceed their potential.
With more than 17,000 attendees, TCD is ranked 67th in the top 100 world universities. The list of Trinity College Dublin's notable alumni is lengthy, including the likes of authors Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and Samuel Beckett, as well as former Irish President Mary Robinson.
If Seamus Finnegan were a muggle, he’d probably be in that line-up, too.
Home to both historic architecture and state-of-the-art facilities, Trinity College Dublin covers more than 50 acres in the heart of the Dublin city center. If that doesn’t make your toes tap, we don’t know what will.
