Political Science and Geography Disciplines Political Science Politics affects us all in our daily lives. It's easy to think of issues that we all have opinions about. Should government tax the rich to try to achieve greater equality? Should it introduce ‘green taxes' in order to protect the environment? Should the amount of money the EU spends on the agricultural sector be cut? How high a priority should third world aid be? Questions such as these, along with analysis of political systems and how democracy works, are at the heart of the study of politics. Political Science has been an important part of the College's curriculum since 1855 and Trinity is recognised world-wide for its research work on the European Union, comparative politics and public opinion. It is a vibrant, outward-looking department that combines intensive research activity with the strongest commitment to high quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Geography Geography matters! In contemporary society it is clear that geographical knowledge and experience are more important than ever, helping us know and understand a dynamic and rapidly changing world. Geography at Trinity is a place of intensive and extensive geographical scholarship in Ireland. We teach and research across the discipline from Nigeria to New Zealand, from development theory to coastal modelling, and from climate chnage to the workings of the social economy. We aim to challenge students, to foster and maintain world-class research and teaching in a supportive and collegial atmosphere. The current economic situation clearly demonstrates that global flows of capital have direct implications for local communities in terms of employment and development. Geography, with its attention to space and place, to nature and society and to the past, present and future, is perhaps the only academic discipline fully equipped to engage with the diverse nature of today's challenges. We hope that through our teaching programmes Geography graduates will be well equipped to become forward-thinking citizens of today and tomorrow.

Cúrsaí Tíreolaíochta Is léir gur mó tábhacht atá le tír eolas i sochaí an lae inniu ná a bhí riamh chun tuiscint a thabhairt dúinn ar dhomhan atá ag síor-athrú. Ábhar comhtháiteach atá i dTíreolaíocht i gColáiste na Tríonóide a dhíríonn ar an domhan mór. Déanaimid teagasc agus taighde ar fud an disciplín ón Nigéir go dtí an Nua Shéalainn - ó theoiric forbartha go samhaltú cósta, athrú aeráide go dtí mar a oibríonn an geilleagar sóisialta, ag féachaint le dúshlán a thabhairt do mhic léinn go hintleachtúil. Féachtar le taighde den chéad scoth a chothú agus a choinneáil agus teagasc i dtimpeallacht chuiditheach agus chomhghleacúil. An aidhm atá againn oideachas ar ard-chaighdeán a chur ar mhic léinn i bhfoirm teagasc taighde-bhunaithe. Baineann go leor den taighde a dhéanaimid le mór-dhúshláin i sochaí an lae inniu lena n-áirítear forbairt idirnáisiúnta, athrú sa chomhshaol agus domhandú. Ábhar é Tíreolaíocht ina dtugtar aird ar spás agus ar áit, ar an dúlra agus an tsochaí, ar an am a caitheadh, an t-am i láthair agus an t-am atá le teacht. Disciplín é a thugann aghaidh ar nádúr athraitheach dhúshláin an lae inniu. Le céim sa Tíreolaíocht beidh: - Tú ábalta teoiricí, coincheapa, modhanna agus próisis Tíreolaíochta a phlé; - Eolas mionsonraithe agat ar réimsí speisialtóireachta sa Tíreolaíocht, beidh tú in ann fadhbanna a aithint, anailís a dhéanamh orthu agus iad a réiteach; - Tú ábalta an t-eolas seo a chur ag obair ar bhealach eolasach agus cuimsitheach, pointí a chur i dtoll a chéile agus seasamh leo, ceisteanna a chur agus a fhreagairt; - Tú ábalta scileanna agus uirlisí speisialtóireachta a úsáid chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar fhadhbanna casta agus tabhairt faoi thaighde; - Tú ábalta turgnaimh bailithe sonraí a cheapadh, tuiscint a bhaint as sonraí ábhartha chun cinntí neamhspleácha a chur ar an eolas ar léiriú iad ar shaincheisteanna sóisialta, eolaíochta agus eiticiúla cuí; - Tú ábalta eolas, smaointe, fadhbanna agus réitigh a chur in iúl do réimse-leathan daoine; - Tá ábalta tabhairt faoi bhreis-staidéar go neamhspleách
