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!
Sociology studies the interaction of people within social groups like families, schools and companies and how this shapes their behaviors and life chances.
For students who want to understand the social changes taking place in the world today, and they are curious about people and society, then Sociology is for them. Students will also gain the ability to understand topical issues and to present and communicate information and thoughts coherently. In addition, they will learn invaluable analytical, communication, research and presentation skills – transferable skills which can be applied to a wide range of careers and postgraduate programmes.
