Geography is a discipline inherently suited to addressing current and future societal challenges. It asks questions about how and why human, physical, and environmental phenomena vary across space and time. Geography is intrinsically interdisciplinary and, as the world becomes increasingly interconnected, geographers are well placed to bring their understanding and skills to bear on social and environmental issues.
Today, geographical knowledge and experience are more important than ever, helping us to understand a dynamic and rapidly changing world. Trinity College Dublin's staff are world leaders in their chosen field and bring that expertise to their teaching. Students will get to study in the classroom and the field, and undertake independent research in Ireland, overseas and even on Mars!
In an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, advanced language skills and intercultural competencies will equip students for a wide variety of careers and will give them a distinct competitive advantage. Language competence is one of the biggest skills gaps in the Irish labor market and language graduates are highly sought after in a variety of sectors.
Within the Modern Languages program students study two modern European languages. It is the most intensive exposure to languages and cultures that Trinity College Dublin has to offer. Students can choose between French, German, Irish, Italian, Russian and Spanish. Apart from French and Irish all languages can be studied from both advanced and beginners level.
