Alert List for 2018 entry

Course name change

Students applying to enter the Trinity Bachelor in Business Studies course (TR080) will in 2018 apply to ‘Global Business’. This name change better reflects the substance of the course but does not signify a change in degree awarded or course content.

Courses such as B.E.S.S. (TR081), Business Studies and a Language (TR085, TR086, TR087, TR089, TR089), Computer Science and Business (TR082) or Business and Law (TR017) are not affected.

New entry routes to Science Courses

Students seeking entry to Trinity’s Science Courses in 2018, will now have four separate entry routes to choose from, signifying four integrated study paths: Biological & Biomedical Sciences (TR060); Chemical Sciences (TR061); Geography & Geosciences (TR062); Physical Sciences (TR063).

These streams now incorporate the ‘Common Entry Science’ Course (TR071), as well as a number of former direct entry courses.

Information regarding these changes is available at the following link: https://www.tcd.ie/Science/streams/ 

Change to Admission Requirements for entry in 2019

Feasibility Study in Admissions for Leaving Certificate Students

For the fifth year Trinity is pioneering a feasibility study in admissions to see if there is a better and fairer way to identify and admit Leaving Certificate applicants who are enthusiastic and passionate about learning, motivated and suitable for their chosen courses. The admissions route will be used to fill 10 places in History (TR003), 10 places in Law (TR004) and 5 places in Ancient and Medieval History and Culture (TR028).
