How can get to study in Dublin?

Questions and concerns about Trinity College Dublin (prospective student)?

  • Ok so I am planning on applying this March to Trinity College Dublin for fall 2011, and I have a few questions. I have already met in Dublin with a counselor and have been told that I will likely get in to my preferred major. I have a 3.9 GPA from my high school, a 3.9 GPA from my college (I already have a 2 year associates degree), and a adequate SAT score. I am 18. So here are the questions: 1) I am hoping to become either an investment banker or corporate lawyer in Ireland (or possibly other EU countries). So would I want to take Trinity's "Law and Business Degree" as my undergraduate degree to pursue that goal? Or is there a more appropriate degree? 2) As an American student applying to Trinity I am a little concerned about my future performance. How much of Irish/ EU law should I know going in. I would expect someone going to law school here in the US to know at least some. Are there ways to do prior study for this, and if so how? 3) Can I get financial aid as an American student studying in Ireland, and if so, from where? Thanks, and max points to best (or probably only) answer.

  • Answer:

    Seeing as you're American, it makes more sense for you to try and work in the US when you're done, simply because as an American, you are not an EU national, so it could be difficult when you are ready to work. You won't be able to walk straight into a job while in Ireland, you'll have to return to the US and apply from there. I think to answer your first two questions, you should contact someone over at Kings Inns to find out what's the best option for you. As an American, you do NOT qualify for financial aid of any kind from the Irish system. But there's no reason why you can't apply for a scholarship, or look for sponsors in the US. Remember that studying in Ireland is much cheaper and better value for money than study in a US university.

Q 3 = no FAFSA, PELL or TAP in Ireland, as an international student best advice is check with admissions office or a rich uncle!! Q 2 = You ought to know the basics of Irish Law in that you don't give cheek to a Guard and expect to get away with it because you are going to Trinners. You will know as much as the rest of them. Check wit appro E.U websites. Q 1 = Again check with Admissions office in Trinity. Phone calls to Ireland via Skype or a phone card are quite cheap.... Good luck and if you do get to Dublin, forget everything you ever learned about Ireland in the US it will be a real eye opener and great craic..

1) don't know 2) type 'Irish Law' or 'EU Law' into google/amazon etc and you find plenty of studying material 3) you will not be entitled to financial aid from the Irish system so you'll to see of there is anything available to you in the US.
