Student Testimonials

  • Avery Mc Loughlin
    BESS
    Ireland

    I chose to study at Trinity for the uniqueness of BESS as well as the highly recognised reputation of the college globally. I wanted to be pushed as well as challenged academically and I knew I would receive that in Trinity. I am immensely grateful for the FET routes to TCD as they provided me with life-altering academic and social experiences. TCD has also provided me with wonderful life-long friends. Even as an introverted individual I was able to engage socially in societies and organisations that are perfect for me.

  • Kevin Murphy
    MFA Stage Design
    Ireland

    I chose to undertake the MFA in Stage Design in order to further my creative practice, to spend a full year working on my design abilities and to develop the skills necessary to be a successful lighting designer after the course. It was great to have an established professional there to see how you work, give you feedback, and to see how your development over the course of the programme. I also really enjoyed that the MFA in Stage Design is primarily project-based which makes the course very practical and allows you to work on your skills in real time.
