Belfast is a city really coming into its own! It has a lot to offer students and visitors, including tourist attractions, gardens, extensive parklands for walking and cycling, restaurants and pubs, and a thriving arts scene with lots of festivals throughout the year. Most major attractions, the countryside and coast are all easy to get to. It is home to about a quarter of a million people (with a further quarter million in the surrounding suburbs and towns) giving it both the dynamism of a city and the friendliness of a smaller town.
Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation is the only Trinity course based in Belfast. Living and studying in a divided society affords valuable opportunities for students, but the student experience here is different to attending a large campus university, or Trinity in Dublin. The department has its own excellent specialist library and small core staff. Study space, sports facilities and clubs and societies are available through Queen’s University Belfast which is close by. Most Trinity student support services can be accessed remotely but be aware that students must travel to Dublin if they wish to access the full range of services in person.
