Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide), officially The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin,[1] is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Dublin, Ireland.[10] Queen Elizabeth I issued a royal charter for the college in 1592 as "the mother of a university" that was modelled after the collegiate universities of both Oxford and Cambridge,[11] but unlike these affiliated institutions, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for administrative purposes.[12]
Trinity is Ireland's oldest university with a reputation as a research-intensive centre. Academically, it is divided into three faculties comprising 23 schools, offering degree and diploma courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.[13] The admission procedure is based exclusively on academic merit,[14] with the college being known for programmes in law, literature and humanities.[15]
Trinity College Dublin is one of the seven ancient universities of Great Britain and Ireland,[16][17] and it is a sister college to both St John's College, Cambridge, and Oriel College, Oxford.[18][19] By incorporation, a graduate of Dublin, Oxford or Cambridge can be conferred the equivalent degree at either of the other two without further examination.[20] The Library of Trinity College is a legal deposit for Ireland and the United Kingdom, being the largest library in the country and housing the Book of Kells since 1661.[21]
The university has educated many of Ireland's most successful poets, playwrights and authors, including Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, William Trevor, John Millington Synge, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Moore and William Congreve; Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett, Ernest Walton, Mairead Maguire and William Cecil Campbell; former Presidents of Ireland Douglas Hyde, Éamon de Valera, Mary Robinson, and Mary McAleese; philosophers George Berkeley and Edmund Burke; as well as mathematicians George Salmon, Robert Mallet, Bartholomew Lloyd, George Johnstone Stoney and William Rowan Hamilton. Notable faculty members and lecturers at the university included Humphrey Lloyd, J. B. Bury, Erwin Schrödinger and E. T. Whittaker.

The name is, of course, a reference to the Christian doctrine that defines God as three consubstantial entities (via a tribute to Trinity College, Cambridge)

The Trinity was the patron of The Dublin Guild Merchant, primary instigators of the foundation of the University, the arms of which guild are also similar to those of the College. - ^ "Biography Linda Doyle President & Provost".
