Broad Curriculum
The University of Dublin is renowned internationally for the breadth
and depth of the degrees it awards. Trinity College is dedicated
to encouraging the following qualities in its students and graduates:
inquisitiveness and analytical ability; creativity and reflectiveness;
adaptability; breadth of reading; ethical responsibility; international
outlook; articulacy; literacy; and numeracy.
To assist with the development of these qualities, Trinity College
offers students the opportunity to study one module outside
their chosen course, via the Broad Curriculum. These Broad
Curriculum modules are usually available to students in the
Senior Freshman (second) or Junior Sophister (third) year.
The chosen module would typically account for approximately
10% of the teaching for the year.
At the time of publication, Trinity College offers 18 broad
curriculum modules in literature, film studies, languages
(2 modules), philosophy, psychology, political science, living
sustainably (2 modules), criminal law, business, planet earth,
art in Ireland (2 modules), science and technology, gender and
society, and history (2 modules).

Optional language courses
Optional evening language courses (for students who are not
studying a language as part of their degree) are available. The
number of places available for first-year students is limited, but
students may apply for optional and credit-bearing language
courses in subsequent College years. The courses take place at
the Centre for Language and Communication Studies (CLCS),
and are designed to help develop practical communication skills
for study or work experience abroad. CLCS language modules
may also be taken for credit (5 ECTS) by undergraduate
students under the Broad Curriculum.
The following language modules are available:
Irish (A1, B1); French (A1, B1, B2); Spanish (A1, B1); Italian
(A1, A2); German (A1, A2, B1, B2); Turkish (A1, A2, B1); Korean
(A1, A2);
A1 level classes are for complete beginners; A2 classes are for
post-beginners. For B1 and B2 level classes, the minimum entry
requirement is a Leaving Certificate (or equivalent) qualification
in the relevant language.
