Student Testimonial

Deniz Unsal
International and Comparative Law (LLM)
Jean Monnet Scholar

Why I chose Trinity?
Trinity College Dublin is the best choice for a student who would like to pursue an academic discipline in Ireland. I chose Trinity due to its unique historical legacy and I thought that a postgraduate programme should be studied in a university which has a rich background.

I was also granted Jean Monnet Scholarship, which aims to contribute to the social capital of Turkey by funding selected Turkish nationals postgraduate studies in the field of the EU. Under this programme, students are free to choose their specializations so that it is advantageous for them to focus on their particular areas of interest. The only criterion to be selected as a Jean Monnet scholar is to be determined to focus on the EU and/or EU-Turkey relations. I am grateful that I have had this opportunity to develop myself at Trinity.

Why I chose Law at Trinity?
My LLM programme is International and Comparative Law. The most significant advantage of this programme is its flexibility. Each semester, students have to take only three modules and that’s why the structure of this programme offers a student-focused learning environment. During my studies at Trinity, I realized that Trinity also motivates me to write papers besides on entering written examinations. By this way, I had a prominent opportunity to focus on my areas of interest in a particular subject. It was a priceless contribution to my academic skills. I am also satisfied with the content of the modules that have been offered since they are totally compatible with the goals of the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme.

International Foundation Programme

I chose to study at Trinity because Trinity is the best university in Ireland and it is also one of the best universities in Europe. When I visited Ireland for a vacation a year ago, I also visited Trinity as a tourist, and I loved it from when I first saw it.

Since I arrived, I always felt the warmth of Irish people. They have never made me feel like an outsider and it was always very easy to make friends. The night life is very enjoyable, with lots of venues having live music. I would advise anyone to travel around Ireland. Although I have travelled to many places, I have seen breath-taking scenes in rural Ireland that I have never seen before.

Dublin has many universities which means the general age is very young which makes the whole city energetic.
