Trinity College Dublin, officially The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I who issued a royal charter for the university, it was modelled after the collegiate universities of both Oxford and Cambridge. Unlike these affiliated institutions, however, only one college was ever established; as such, the terms "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for administrative purposes.
