I think coming to Trinity College for my Research work was one of the finest decisions I took. Along with the world-class exposure, international environment, infrastructure which facilitated my research, the cutting-edge, result-oriented work culture is something I learnt.
Course Curriculum :
The course curriculum is updated regularly. Research Experience is part of the curriculum as mandatory dissertation. Industry placement is mandatory for PhD only.
Exams :
For the Post Doc position, standard tests were not required, but I submitted a document from my University that my medium of instruction was English. Complete SOP, CV, and LORs from three referees. I also had to send a research proposal for the grant. Two rounds of interview, one technical with Professors and Senior researchers of the group and another personal one with the PI.
Placement :
Both academic and company/industrial positions are available. Internal placement and student union helps in securing jobs.
Fees :
I do not have any tuition, as it is a research program where I get paid a stipend.
Scholarship :
ERC Grant
Faculty :
The student teacher ratio is around 1:20. They are extremely approachable. Tutorials are common. Assignments, quizzes and seminars are used for assessments.
Campus Life :
Very happening social life, you can be part of several societies of interest, school and student union programs happen regularly. Trinity Ball is the annual event
Hostel :
You can get University accommodation, but it is expensive, around 1000 Euros per month, for a single room, other accommodation comes for 700-800 per month excluding bills, 500-600 for a single bed in sharing room. All such facilities mostly have shared kitchen and living room.
