Incoming Students

The Department of Philosophy warmly welcomes international visiting students who may be attending Trinity College for just one semester, or a full academic year. Such students may take any module from the Junior Freshman (JF) and/or Senior Freshman (SF) years. Under special circumstances, and with the proper background in philosophy and the approval of the Philosophy Visiting Student Coordinator (email), courses from the Junior Sophister (JS) and/or Senior Sophister (SS) years may be selected.
