Julia CarrollEnvironmental Science
IrelandI've always wanted to study at Trinity because studying at the heart of Dublin city centre always appealed to me. I've always felt drawn to the historical campus, my mother and older sister studied at Trinity, and my parents were married at the chapel in Front Square! When I visited the campus for the first time and walked around the magnificient buildings, I knew Trinity was the place for me.

Kevin MurphyMFA Stage Design
IrelandI chose to undertake the MFA in Stage Design in order to further my creative practice, to spend a full year working on my design abilities and to develop the skills necessary to be a successful lighting designer after the course. It was great to have an established professional there to see how you work, give you feedback, and to see how your development over the course of the programme. I also really enjoyed that the MFA in Stage Design is primarily project-based which makes the course very practical and allows you to work on your skills in real time.
