Geography is truly interdisciplinary as it spans a broad spectrum of the social, biological, informational and physical sciences. As the world becomes interconnected geographers are well placed to bring their understanding and skills to bear on social and environmental issues. An important attribute of geographers, and one that is highly regarded in the workplace, is their ability to combine multidisciplinary knowledge with a wide range of transferable skills, including critical thinking, report-writing, numeracy and IT-literacy. These can be applied to careers which directly incorporate a geographic dimension, such as environmental consultancy or urban planning, and to wider areas such as business and public service..
The history programme at Trinity has been constructed on clear pedagogical and intellectual principles. In the first years the courses are designed to provide you with a systematic knowledge of European and Irish history, with options in American and other non-European courses, as well as to introduce you to particular aspects of history along socio-political, cultural and economic lines. In the second part of the programme (in the Sophister years) a very wide degree of choice is made available to students from a broad range of specialist courses offered by those actively engaged in research on these topics. An independently conceived, researched and presented dissertation is a key element of the final year. |
