Field Trips

There are various field trips in the academic year*. These include:

The Hague trip

(two days) allows students privileged access to the proceedings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court and normally includes a reception at the Irish Embassy in the Hague.

The United Nations (UN) trip

comprises a two-day conference hosted by UN staff in Geneva, providing lectures and discussion about various topics, including Human Rights, Peace-Keeping and Disarmament, Development.

The Belfast field trip

includes guest lectures and a tour of Belfast for Dublin-based students.

"The trip to Belfast was absolutely one of the most valuable experiences I have had while in Ireland. The opportunity for candid conversations with people in this conflict society is something I hoped for when I applied to Trinity. It is an opportunity that no one in our program should miss."

By Mary McCartin, MPhil International Peace Studies, 2011-12

The Belfast Summer School

involves lectures and field-visits linked to the bonfires and parades of 11-12 July.

NB: Students must finance the additional cost of these trips themselves and provision of field trips is subject to adequate demand from students.

*The UN and Hague Trip alternate each year: students will go to either Geneva, or the Hague.
