In person exams are held in either RDS Simmonscourt (Hall 8), or on Trinity campus.

  • Though social-distancing requirements are no longer in place, exam venues are limited to 80% capacity for additional space between desks.
  • You will find a biodegradable bag at your desk upon arrival. Place all restricted items (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc) in this bag, tie it, and place it under your desk so that it does not block walkways. Any restricted items found outside of this bag will be confiscated. Bring the bag with you when you leave the exam venue and dispose of it in a compost bin or make use of it at home.
  • Limited parking will be available at the RDS Simmonscourt, at a rate of €7 per day. There is ample bicycle parking and the RDS is served by public transport.

The conduct of exams and the submission of assessed work are regulated by entries in the College Calendar.

The exam period can be a stressful time, so remember that there are college services available to support you. If you are feeling overwhelmed, contact your tutor, the Postgraduate Advisory Service, Student Counselling, the Health Centre, the Chaplaincy, or reach out to friends or family.
