Law governs every aspect of people's lives, from food labelling and football transfers to elections and crime. It regulates people's social life from the contracts that they make when they buy products to the laws that determine when people can be jailed for committing criminal offences, and through to significant political decisions, such as constitutional reforms on marriage or abortion. As a law student, students will learn what laws are, how they work and how they change.
The History department at Trinity College Dublin offers a remarkably broad range of discipline options for its size. The four-year program allows students to lay firm foundations in the first two years, with wide-ranging modules on medieval and modern history, Irish, European, American, environmental and global history, as well as on historical methods and approaches. The final two years of the program allow students the chance to study several specialist modules in-depth and to undertake independent research on a subject of their own choice. The breadth and depth of study in this program is unique in Ireland and has few rivals internationally.
