Summer School
Trinity Access Summer School is a week-long programme which runs in June of each year. It is for 5th year students going into 6th year come September as the programme focus is to give students a taste of the college experience. It’s also a summer programme that aims to bring students from difference communities together, and share opportunities for cultural and educational enrichment.
Students choose one main module of study for the week to let them experience working and studying in a college setting.
Typical module options include:
- Law
- Business Studies
- English Literature
- Computer Science
- Film Studies
- Drama
Summer School aims to balance the fun social aspects of college life with educational insights into third level education. We try to introduce students to the entire community and faculties at TCD. This includes scavenger hunts, tours, talks and workshops with professors and student societies. TAP staff members deliver talks on key programmes and initiatives such as HEAR, CAO, SUSI and the TAP Foundation Course. We usually end the week with a presentation and graduation event where parents, guardians and friends are invited to attend. By the end of the week students leave with a deeper connection to the community that lives and works across TCD.
Places on Summer School are only available to students in TAP linked secondary schools. We contact participating schools about 6 weeks before the programme to begin recruiting students. Summer School is delivered free of charge to all participants. Any questions regarding Summer School should be directed to the TAP Programme Lead in your school.
