The University of Dublin (Irish: Ollscoil Átha Cliath), corporately named as The Chancellor, Doctors and Masters of the University of Dublin, is a research university located in Dublin, Ireland. It is the degree-awarding body for Trinity College Dublin. It was founded in 1592 when Queen Elizabeth I issued a royal charter for Trinity College as, "the mother of a university" (Latin: mater universitatis), making it Ireland's oldest operating university. It is the youngest of the seven "ancient universities" of Great Britain and Ireland,[a] and shares a unique relationship with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.[11][12][13][14]

The University of Dublin was modelled after the collegiate university of Oxford and Cambridge, but unlike these affiliated ancient universities, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College Dublin" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for practical purposes. It is a member of the Irish Universities Association, Universities Ireland, and the Coimbra Group.
