Each year, the Department of Political Science welcomes visiting students from around the world who join us for one semester or a full academic year. Visiting students are invited to take a selection of undergraduate Political Science modules and experience academic life at Trinity College Dublin.
Available Modules
Visiting students may take any Senior Fresh (2nd Year) or Junior Sophister (3rd Year) undergraduate Political Science modules. Please note that visiting students are not eligible to take Junior Fresh (1st Year) or Senior Sophister (4th Year) modules.
Module outlines and further information are available on the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy website. Students should also consult the module timetable for details on class times and locations. Please note that timetables are subject to change during the first few weeks of term.
Credits (ECTS
All Senior Fresh and Junior Sophister modules are worth 5 ECTS each, whether you are studying for one term or the full academic year.

Module Registration forms will only be signed during the office hours of the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy coordinators. These forms will not be signed during the welcome meeting or outside scheduled hours.
Academic Requirements
Visiting students are expected to meet the same academic requirements as Trinity students, including coursework and examinations.
