Course overview
With over one thousand undergraduate nursing students
in Trinity College, you will become part of a vibrant student
community. You will meet students from all disciplines as you
study core modules, and form cohesive classes within your own
discipline as you specialise within your chosen area. Nursing
students are taught predominantly in the School of Nursing
and Midwifery building on D’Olier Street, offering students an
opportunity to meet and interact with their classmates. With its
proximity to Trinity College’s main campus, Nursing students are
never far from the centre of student life.
This four-year nursing programme (Children’s and general is 4.5
years) is offered in partnership with six health service providers.
Students remain with the same health service provider for the
duration of their programme and become an integral part of the
hospital. Trinity College’s six linked health service providers are:

Is this the right course for you?
You will need to have a keen interest in healthcare, be
capable of working as part of a team, and have a caring and
understanding personality and outlook to enjoy working as a
nurse.
Like all professional courses in health sciences, nursing places
extra demands on students’ time. It can be demanding, both
physically and emotionally and so you should ensure that you
are in a position to fully engage with the course during your time
in College.
Course content
This course will give you the knowledge, skills, attitude and
professional values necessary to provide high-quality, competent
and caring nursing practice in the discipline of nursing you
choose to follow. There are two components to the nursing
degree course – a theoretical component and a clinical
component.
