It's University of Dublin, Tirinity College.
.
The University is a separate entity to the College. The College has a Provost, the University has a Chancellor. The College's official name, as per the Letters Patent of Elizabeth signed March 3 1591, is the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin.
But the College, despite being a separate entity, the mother of the university, is essentially the same thing as the University. Thus on the website and your exam papers etc., you'll have University of Dublin, Trinity College.
Corruptedmorals, the ownership of the College is entrusted the Provost, the Fellows and the (Foundation) Scholars of the College. The Provost is essentially the President. The Fellows are the highest academic staff, awarded Fellowship in recognition of their academic achievements. The Scholars are students who have been awarded Scholarship by achieving a First in the specific exams they opt to take. There are about 300 of these. Foundation Scholars are limited by statute to seventy in number, so these seventy are spread among the different departments fairly equally, roughly equaling three per year per faculty. Scholars receive free rooms on campus, with free three-course meals in the evening, and a few other benefits.
Well done. It's because you voted for it. I'm sure you're proud you noticed this, and that you're a cut above us. Just like you're ahead of us in the World University Rankings and the Times Higher Education Supplement leagues. Oh wait, UCD(D) aren't, are they?delta_bravo wrote:Why is the U.C.D. option italicised? I suppose it's because we're a cut above the rest

So do I. To paraphrase yourself, that's like being a member of a House of the Oireachtas, Dáil Éireann.Boston wrote:Ibid, I remember these arguments about semantics. You enrol @ the university of Dublin, trinity college.
If it's not the case, could you please explain the Latin around the College Crest?
The College is called the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, often simply called Trinity College, Dublin.
The University is called the University of Dublin.
They are distinct entities. Collectively, they are called the University of Dublin, Trinity College.
The University does not really do anything but award degrees, and its degrees are awarded on merit of its exams.
The College has thousands of students. The College's students eventually receive the University's degrees. They then become alumni of both.
The original charter, the Elizabethan charter of 1592, proclaimed its purpose to establish the "College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of the Most Serene Queen Elizabeth near Dublin", changed two paragraphs later to remove the "Most Serene" bit. The Charter of Charles I referred to the College as same. If you want me to email you the English translations, PM me your address.
That's the College view. Here's statute's:"the College" means the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin established by the Foundation Charter of 1592, and shall be held to include the University of Dublin save where the context otherwise requires in accordance with the charters and letters patent relating to Trinity College;
Alright?
