Incoming students will receive an orientation information pack from Academic Registry by mail pre-arrival.
The Graduate Students' Union facilitates the Postgraduate Students Orientation during Postgraduate Orientation Week. Postgraduate Orientation includes tours of College, library facilities and Sports Centre tours and social events.
Trinity-speak
Trinity is an old university and we may use terms, names and acronyms that are unfamiliar to you at first. If you come across a new phrase or name, we recommend that you check the Trinity Jargon Buster.
