Trinity is changing the way in which we offer students the opportunity to combine subjects in their degrees, combining perspectives and ways of understanding the world. Beginning in 2019/20, Trinity will be replacing the long-standing Two-Subject Moderatorship (TSM) with a new set of two subject combinations, to be called Joint Honours. Some of these sixty-two combinations will be familiar and have been popular with students for many years, others will be new. Among the new possibilities this year are:
▶ Ancient History and Archaeology & Modern Language (Irish) ▶ Ancient History and Archaeology & Geography ▶ Classical Civilisation & Modern Language (German) ▶ Classical Languages & Modern Language (German) ▶ Film Studies & History ▶ Middle Eastern, Jewish and Islamic Civilisations & Religion ▶ Middle Eastern, Jewish and Islamic Civilisations & Music ▶ Mathematics & Modern Language (Irish) ▶ Music & Religion
It is also worth noting that there is now a new subject – Religion – which replaces the Old World Religions and Theology and Catholic Theological Studies offerings. Over the next few years, we will be adding further new combinations.
This year, recognising the increasing importance of languages, we have also changed the way in which students will be able to apply for a degree that either combines a modern language with another subject, or, alternatively, combines two modern languages. There is now a single quota for all languages, making it easier than ever before for students to opt for languages at Trinity. Students apply in the first instance for “Modern Languages” and then select the language (or languages) they wish to study from a drop-down menu.
The best way to identify a Joint Honours combination that might be right for you is to start with the subject that interests you most and look it up in the Trinity Prospectus. Under each subject, you will find a list of possible Joint Honours combinations. So, for instance, if you look up History, you will see that you can combine it with Economics, English Literature, Philosophy, and so on. If you want an overview of all possible Joint Honours, the attached table and the Trinity Prospectus (page 48 – 131) should be useful.
