Student Testimonials
Donna Hogan
Studying at the Trinity Business School involved hard work and commitment, but was an incredibly fun four years! I found there to be a great rapport between students and staff, who were always encouraging and supportive of new ideas and entrepreneurial endeavours.
The interactive class structures enable students to learn from one another and to develop invaluable organizational, teamwork and leadership skills. Lecturers also introduce students to the business world outside the classroom: through the Business School, I had the opportunity to study abroad, attend global student business conferences and interact with students from prestigious Universities worldwide.
Studying at the Trinity Business School opened up a wide range of career possibilities. Having enjoyed my undergraduate business studies so much, I decided to continue, and am currently studying for a Masters in International Business and Law at the University of Sydney, Australia!

Alan Foy is a current graduate of the Masters Degree Programme in the School of Business. In his own words:" Firstly, I would consider myself a keen advocate of the Trinity School of Business Studies. Studying Business Studies in Trinity has contributed towards my personal development in ways I could never have imagined when I first filled in TR081 on the CAO form in school! Through the combination of excellent academic staff, well structured courses and a friendly and active student community – studying Business was a wonderful experience for which I am very thankful. The decision to study business is one that I definitely don’t regret."
More from Alan:
"During my time in the Business School, I was fortunate to have been involved in strategic planning projects in a financial services firm close to Trinity College. This experience provided me with an excellent environment to put the content of the business studies course to practical use. The other members of the project teams were very impressed with the sheer wealth of knowledge I had brought from my Business Studies courses which proved helpful to the successful delivery of a number of key projects. This has led me to understand that the knowledge and skills we learn in Business Studies are highly valued. Most importantly, I would suggest that the Trinity Business School brand is well recognised among the business community.
In addition to work experience, I got really involved with the Foresight Business Studies Group of students. This group fosters links between leading businesspeople and business students in the college. Getting involved in an organisation like Foresight allowed me to make new friends and have a lot of fun while also planning and organising networking events throughout the year. These types of organisations (of which there are many in college) permit students to make contacts which may provide helpful advice or guidance which can help shape the future careers of Business students.
The journey of studying Business Studies in Trinity College has brought me many wonderful experiences ranging from establishing my own enterprise to becoming a member of the community service organisation, Rotary International. The skills I gained through group projects, interactive lectures/tutorials and involvement in a student organisation have equipped me well to build what I hope will be a successful future. The choice to study Business Studies at Trinity College was perhaps the first critical building block to reaching my potential and securing that successful (and happy) future!"
