How many interviews will there be?
The commonest format at Trinity is two separate interviews with different people, each lasting about 30 minutes. Sometimes there is a single, longer interview – roughly 50 minutes – at which you are seen by two people together. More information can be found in the notes on individual subjects. When there are two interviews, one is often of a specialised character; it might, for example, concentrate on written work you were asked to submit in advance. There will be short written tests in Computer Science, Engineering, English, Law, Music, Mathematics, Philosophy and Natural Sciences. Whatever the details may be, and in some subjects these change slightly from year to year, you will be told what they are well ahead of time.
