ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The Department of English and Creative Writing offers a foreign study program at Trinity College Dublin.
Students enrolled in the program take two courses in the English Department at Trinity College, one of them a course on Irish literature. Students also take one course by the faculty director.
Trinity College Dublin is one of the oldest and liveliest universities in Europe and is the educational home to many of Ireland's best-known writers, including George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, and Oscar Wilde. The Trinity English Department, with its international faculty, attracts a wide array of students from both Ireland and the European Union.

To participate students must have completed all first-year requirements and one English course (any class with the ENGL course code) other than English 7 with a grade of B or better.
Additional information: The English course requirement may, in certain circumstances, be waived by the director.
STUDENT LIFE
Students will be staying in apartments convenient to Trinity College Dublin.
TCD is located in the heart of downtown Dublin, within easy walking distance of the theatres and bookstores, and the pubs and the music that make the city so culturally rich and exciting.
The beginning of the program coincides with the Dublin Theatre Festival; students will attend several of the plays, including at least one at the Abbey Theatre, preceded by a lecture on the contemporary theatre scene. The program typically includes a trip to Sligo, the area in the west of Ireland that was home to W.B. Yeats and the setting for many of his most famous poems; a reading group on James Joyce's Ulysses; a historical walking tour of the city immortalized by Joyce in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses; and opportunities to hear both traditional and contemporary Irish music.

Financing Your Program
Tuition and Fees
Meal plans are include along with the possibility for students to cook for themselves.
Students regularly use public transportation to explore the city and commute between home, classes, and excursions. In short, they become Parisians for the summer.
All Dartmouth students are covered by ISOS and Starr Insurance which provides travel, medical and security assistance for all Dartmouth travelers (this does not replace the DSGHP or your personal medical coverage).
The fees charged by the College for a Dartmouth-sponsored off-campus term of study include regular tuition charges for a term at Dartmouth, service fees, as well as the specific costs established for each off-campus study locale. In many programs, the room and board costs tend to be higher than for a term in Hanover. You can view a budget sheet for each program by clicking on the appropriate term under "Financing Your Program". The cost of transportation to and from the site is the responsibility of the student.
Financial Aid
In order that all qualified Dartmouth undergraduate students may have the opportunity to take part in off-campus programs, the College endeavors to adjust its normal financial aid awards for students already receiving aid. Tuition and expected family contribution for Dartmouth's off-campus programs are the same as for an on-campus term.
All costs, including airfare and spending money, are considered when determining the cost of an off-campus program. Any costs more than a typical term in Hanover are met with additional Dartmouth Scholarship Funds. If you have a work expectation for the term, this will be replaced by scholarship funding for programs that span the entire term.
Students are responsible for purchasing their own plane tickets and, in many cases, meals. Often, families find that they owe less for billable items for study away terms but will instead use more of their expected family contribution towards indirect costs such as the flight and meals. For help sorting out who pays what and how, contacting the Financial Aid office is often advisable.
