Queen Elizabeth I issued a royal charter for the college in 1592 as "the mother of a university" that was modelled after the collegiate universities of both Oxford and Cambridge, but unlike these affiliated institutions, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for administrative purposes.
