Welcome to the Irish School of Ecumenics
We are a postgraduate institute in the School of Religions, Theology and Ecumenics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland’s top-ranked university and one of the finest in the world.
ISE is a multi-disciplinary, cross-border institute with campuses in Dublin and Belfast. Drawing on Ireland’s experience of violence, political negotiation, and peacebuilding, we offer students unparalleled opportunities to interact with leading scholars in Ecumenics, International Peace Studies, and Reconciliation Studies. We have an established tradition of promoting inter-church and interfaith dialogue in Ireland and abroad. Our graduates are equipped to conduct first-rate academic and applied research, and to pursue careers including development work, teaching, advocacy, and ministry.
