       “I decided to study Pharmacy at Trinity as
       Ireland is known as a huge European hub for
       pharmaceutical industry and research. I found the
       course content challenging yet very rewarding. The
       supportive network of academics and friends that I
       find myself in also made the Trinity journey all the
       more enjoyable and exciting.”

       “I chose the IFP so I could develop my English
       in a supportive and encouraging environment.
       Through my experience of studying at Trinity I
       have made new friends, learned a lot about the
       culture and improved my English greatly. I chose
       Trinity because of its very long history and the
       many inspirational people who have studied
       here. There is a great atmosphere throughout the
       university and the campus is beautiful. ”
