Trinity College Dublin, which is a constituent of the University of Ireland, was first established in 1592 as an attempt to solidify the city of Dublin, and Ireland by extension, as an adequate site of European learning.
Now, over 400 years later, Trinity College has not only managed that, but has also earned itself the title of Ireland’s highest-ranked university, as well as secured a spot in the world’s top 100 universities, according to the QS World University Ranking 2023.
The institution claims many other accolades of recognition on a global scale, for instance, they have also been deemed no. 1 in Ireland for employer Reputation and Alumni Outcomes, whilst also placing in the top 50 among four different subject areas in the QS Rankings.
Trinity College aims to share its world-recognised teaching efforts to all, welcoming prospects for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies from all over the world, with the university also having provisions to cater to international students.
Furthermore, the institution also provides an Upskill function, which aims to offer students, including industry professionals, the opportunity to study courses designed specifically to cater to the most in-demand skill sets for different industries, ensuring workplace preparedness. These courses, as developed as part of a Human Capital Initiative (HCI), can be accessed here.
