In order to be considered for admission all applicants are
required to satisfy the University matriculation requirements
(see page 27) and, where relevant, meet any specific course
requirements (see pages 28-33).
Due to restrictions on the number of clinical placements
available in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, non-EU
students may only be considered for vacant places.
Receiving an offer and accepting a place
Successful non-EU applicants will be notified in writing by Trinity
College. Students who wish to accept an offer of a place in the
College will be required to return an acceptance fee within a
specified time. Details of the due date and method of payment
will be included in the offer letter.
Deferred entry
Non-EU students applying for deferred entry should contact the
Admissions Officer, Regent House, Trinity College, Dublin 2 in
writing prior to the deadline for acceptance of their offer.
One-year and one-term students
A limited number of places are available for EU and non-EU
students who are already enrolled in another university and do
not wish to undertake a four-year course in Trinity College. While
students may wish to be admitted for one term only, preference
is given to those who wish to attend for a full academic year,
particularly in the case of EU visiting students.
Application forms and further information are available from the
International Office (see above for contact details).
Completed applications must be received by 1 March 2012.
Applying for accommodation

Applicants’ appeals process
Applications are assessed on the basis of criteria listed in this

the case in categorising students for the purposes of tuition fees.
Where an applicant appeals a decision the initial appeal is
considered by the Admissions Officer. If the applicant wishes to
appeal the matter further it is passed to the Senior Lecturer for
consideration.
