The Trinity College International Foundation Programme is specifically for students who have the drive and ambition to attend a world-class educational institute but cannot begin an international undergraduate degree directly. Our International Foundation Programme is a year-long programme designed to allow students to develop the skills required to succeed and excel in a competitive university environment.
The Trinity International Foundation Programme is delivered at the campus of Trinity’s associated college, Marino Institute of Education, where excellent student facilities and guaranteed on-site accommodation are available. The Marino campus is a 15-minute journey from the centre of Dublin city and the Trinity College main campus.
