Dear Undergraduate Student,


A very warm welcome to the Department of Clinical Speech & Language Studies, within the School of Linguistic, Speech & Communication Sciences at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) – a Department which hosts the longest-established course in Speech and Language Therapy in Ireland
Aside from being a university steeped in a rich tradition and a vibrant history, Trinity College Dublin is recognised internationally as Ireland's premier university and is ranked in 61st position in the top 100 world universities by the QS World University Rankings 2013.
The Department of Clinical Speech & Language Studies has been at Trinity College since 1979, having established itself as a qualifying school for Speech and Language Therapists at an undergraduate level, some years before that.
At all times, we strive to give our students the best educational experience we can offer, an experience that is not only high class, but one which contributes to the objective of life-long learning and enquiry. Our teaching team is energetic, committed and highly- motivated, each member supported by his/her own strong research and clinical background. Core to our teaching philosophy is responding to and supporting the curious mind - your curious mind. We in the Department are here to feed and nurture that curiosity, by exposing you to a deep, rich and enjoyable learning experience, culminating in your qualification as a Speech and Language Therapist.
Trinity College facilitates the nurturing of the student experience with its wide and diverse range of learning and teaching resources, including world-class libraries, and many other student-focused supports. Additionally, students can avail of over 100 College societies and 50 active TCD Sports Clubs.
We are delighted that you have chosen to come to Trinity and to our Department. We look forward to guiding and accompanying you all on your undergraduate journey.
Finally, as Head of Discipline, I warmly welcome each and every one of you, wishing you the very best of luck with your studies. I hope you will enjoy all that we, and TCD, have to offer you.



Dr. Irene P. Walsh,

Head of Discipline,

Department of Clinical Speech & Language Studies.
