Study At Trinity

The Applications and Admissions team provide information about admission requirements and administrates applications to undergraduate and postgraduate courses by EU and Non-EU students.

EU/Non-EU Status for Admissions

The correct process for application is determined by whether the applicant is eligible to apply as an EU or a Non-EU student, which refers to residency in the EU rather than EU citizenship. Detailed criteria on EU/Non-EU status is available here:

Undergraduate EU/Non-EU Status

It is strongly advised to evaluate your status before starting an application to study at Trinity College Dublin. All of this information, and much more, is available on the Study At Trinity website.

Garda Vetting

  1. Students on courses with clinical or other professional placements may be required to undergo Garda vetting procedures prior to commencing placements. If, as a result of the outcome of the Garda vetting procedures, a student is deemed unsuitable to attend clinical or other professional placement, he/she may be required to withdraw from his/her course.
  2. Students who have resided outside Ireland for a consecutive period of 6 months or more will be required to provide police clearance documentation from the country in which they resided at the time of registration.
  3. Garda vetting forms will be distributed (as part of the student orientation information) to students who have been offered a place in Trinity. The completed forms must be returned to the Academic Registry prior to registration.

General guidelines for completing the Garda Vetting process are available on the Orientation website here: https://www.tcd.ie/orientation/assets/pdf/How%20to%20complete%20your%20Student%20Vetting%20(2016).pdf
