Students enroll in the following course taught by Trinity College Dublin faculty. Each student's course and grade will appear on a Trinity College Dublin transcript.

Contemporary Global Politics

All students enroll in a course focusing on contemporary politics before their internship placement begins. The course, which meets at Trinity College Dublin and is taught by their faculty, offers an overview of contemporary topics in international politics, as well as themes related to Irish politics and society. The international system is a complex and constantly evolving environment. Interactions between states and non-state actors, such as multinational corporations and international non-governmental organizations, produce outcomes that we read about every day. This course offers the student a set of theoretical tools to help understand why these outcomes emerge. Local excursions allow students to relate course content to various sites in and around Dublin.
