University of Dublin - Trinity College

Dublin, Ireland

Trinity College, the single constituent college of the University of Dublin, was founded in 1592 and is the oldest in Ireland and one of the oldest in Europe. Located in Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, Trinity College prides itself on its tradition of personal contact between faculty and students encouraged by its collegiate atmosphere. Courses are open to Reed students across a broad spectrum of disciplines with particular interests focused on Irish history, literature, and music. Over four centuries old, Trinity is home to around 15,500 students and offers a vast range of courses and disciplines to be explored and experienced.

Meals are available from three on-campus restaurants, as well as from several student cafes. Trinity offers its students a variety of support services, including counseling and individual tutoring. A week-long orientation period is also provided at the beginning of the academic year for incoming students. There are many campus-wide social events throughout the academic year, and the Global Room is a resource specifically for International Students which hosts events as well as providing support.

Financial, Immigration

Cost to attend:

Reed College charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. Reed College encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect Reed's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the Reed College Financial Aid page.

Visa Deadlines and Requirements:

Changes to Immigration financial requirements for 2023-2024

Students that hold a Non-EU passport are required to register with Immigration during their semester. At their Immigration appointment they are required to show proof of access to finances.

Non-Visa Requiring Students (USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore passport holders)

From 1st July 2023 all non-EU students will be required to show evidence to immigration that they have access to at least €4,200 if staying for longer than 6 months, or €700 per month if staying for less than 6 months.  (These figures have increased from the previous requirements of €3,000 or €500 per month)

Visa Requiring Students

All visa required students who intend commencing their studies in Ireland after 01 July 2023, will be required to show evidence that they have access to at least €10,000 per year of their studies.

If the duration of the course is less than 6 months, they must have access to €700 per month of their stay or €4,200, whichever is the lesser.

This does not need to be shown at first time immigration registration, but does need to be shown at each subsequent renewal of permission.
