The Trinity Specialist Business Degree is a unique programme, designed for students who wish to focus on business from the very beginning of their degree. Innovation and entrepreneurship are key pillars of this dynamic new programme.

Trinity Business School places an emphasis on blended learning, where academic excellence meets industry experience. Our students cherish their time in Trinity: making lifelong friendships and contacts, gaining first-hand business experience, and benefitting from a challenging but nurturing learning environment with our dedicated faculty.

Year One – Junior Freshman

IMMERSING YOURSELF IN THE FUNDAMENTALS

In your first year, you will learn about the history and evolution of business, organisation and management, in order to establish and reinforce the principle that the pursuit of business is embedded in - and a central driver of - our complex global economy. 
Furthermore, you will start your self-development journey with the key quantitative and qualitative skills required for business in the 21st Century.

Year Two – Senior Freshman

BROADENING YOUR RANGE OF BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE

Your second year gives you a thorough grounding in every core discipline of business theory and practice, from marketing to finance. You will benefit from the full resources of a globally networked institution. By taking a significant number of credits from other disciplines – from Law and Linguistics, to Geology or Psychology – you will have the unique opportunity to see how your thinking interacts with and is influenced by others, cultivating new insights that can only come through such interdisciplinarity.

Year Three – Junior Sophister

LEARNING BY DOING

While building on your portfolio of skills and knowledge, you are awarded credit for experiencethat transforms your learning – whether through a semester or year abroad at one of our partner institutions, an internship in a firm, start-up, or voluntary organisation, or a leadership role in one of Trinity’s many business student societies. 
This experiential learning is highly valued by employers and is a unique opportunity for students to develop business skills.

Year Four – Senior Sophister

DEEPENING YOUR EXPERTISE

In your Senior Sophister year, you will focus on at least one area of business expertise: studying your chosen subject in depth, taking advanced modules in the subject and undertaking research guided by one of our faculty or industry experts. 
Your work acts as a ticket of entry into your chosen career path, be it finance, accounting, strategy or marketing, in areas as diverse as cosmetics to capital funds management.
