“ First and foremost, all the Irish people including the course
coordinators and other teaching fellows are really nice and kind.
The most excellent aspect of Trinity is definitely the programme
itself. The focus is quite wide and includes historiographical
elements as well as dissertation preparation. Trinity is the perfect
place to study, not just for history majors but for all majors. ”
