Studying abroad has always been a big part of my higher education experience. After two long-term study abroad experiences as an undergrad, I knew that I wanted to accomplish my masters degree abroad. Trinity’s reputation and credentials as one of Europe’s best universities drew me to the school initially and the diverse program offerings convinced me that Trinity was the right choice for me.
When I was looking into graduate programs, I wanted one that would take me out of the classroom and allow me to conduct hands on field research. The ISE masters program was the only one I could find that not only allowed me to get out into the field but actively encouraged it through internships and field trips. But what really helped me make up my mind about choosing the Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation M.Phil. at ISE was its location in Belfast.
The connections I made through this program, both personal and professional, were and are invaluable. I loved this program and it genuinely affected the trajectory of my professional life. However, I worry that the program is not advertised adequately and I would hate to see the program in danger of closing due to a lack of awareness of its existence. This is a sentiment that many in my cohort expressed in addition to frustrations about the lack of information about the program on Trinity’s website.
Trinity College Dublin exposes you to the best professors, resources, and classmates a university can offer.
I chose to study conflict resolution and reconciliation at Trinity’s Irish School of Ecumenics, because of the incredible depth of their programme. With a satellite-campus in Belfast, the programme is at ground zero for studying the Troubles and the ramifications of peace in a post-conflict society. The professors and coursework are foremost in the field and challenge you to go beyond assumptions, and the community and staff make you feel at home. All of this, while being immersed in an environment where you live and experience the effects of post-conflict everyday make for a deeply meaningful and constructive education.
I came away with lifelong friends, mentors and memories that will last a lifetime.
