History, tradition, and academic excellence: these are some of the hallmarks of a study abroad experience at Trinity College Dublin. Trinity's 15,000 students are fortunate to enjoy the convenience and excitement of being located in the heart of Dublin while at the same time benefiting from the seclusion and tranquility of the campus environment.Among Trinity's hundreds of course offerings, you'll need to focus on one subject area. Careful consideration of exactly what you would like to pursue is very important because at Trinity you can expect to take all of your courses within a single teaching department (such as English or Art History) or within a specific interdisciplinary faculty (such as Business, Economics, and Social Science) that encompasses two or three subjects exclusively. Because the academic year at Trinity is divided into three terms of uneven length, the Arcadia University Center for 
Education Abroad program at Trinity College is available only to students who intend to study abroad for a full academic year.
