Trinity Business School has been pioneering cutting-edge research, teaching and learning in management and entrepreneurship for over a century. It is this pioneering approach that will prepare students for careers at the forefront of the dynamic and exciting world of business.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship are part of our DNA. Trinity is Europe’s number one university for student entrepreneurship according to Pitchbook. Global Business students are actively encouraged to engage in entrepreneurship and innovation throughout their degree. Not only does this take place in taught modules but also by undertaking internships, developing a start-up or taking a leadership role in one of Trinity’s student business societies. Our business-related student societies foster innovation at the grass-roots student level. As a result of these varied experiences, many students become entrepreneurs through their journey in Trinity Business School.
Trinity Business School ensures that Global Business students gain practical experience to hone their skills in order to prepare them for the world of work when they graduate. During your degree you will have the opportunity to take part in an internship with companies from our network of global firms, or study abroad in one of partner universities experiencing a new culture, language and country, or even gain credits for your own start-up enterprise or student society project.
