Trinity College Dublin offer a wide range of modules in written and spoken language, in literature, culture and ideas. They teach in small groups and they offer both beginners and post-school-leaving programs.
Employers value the language skills of German graduates, and their ‘transferable skills’: the creativity, confidence, and sensitivity which marks the advanced linguist, the maturity and flexibility that comes from engaging with another culture, and from experience gained abroad. Recent graduates work for Google, Deutsche Bank, and Enterprise Ireland, also in telecoms, IT, education, public service, the media, law, and in universities in Ireland, Europe, and North America.
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.
