Trinity College Dublin is recognised internationally as Ireland’s premier university and as one of the world's leading research-intensive universities. Founded in 1592 on the general pattern of the ancient colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, it is the oldest university in Ireland and one of the older universities of Western Europe. Amongst the graduates are included notable people such as Oscar Wilde or 2015 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine William C. Campbell.
