    Auditing classes is pretty rare in Ireland, but for classes of ~30 or more no one's going to pay you any attention if you just sit in and take notes. You'd probably want to talk to the lecturers in question if you want to sit in on smaller classes. TCD has timetables publicly available online by the way.

    It depends on the course. From doing TP, I can tell you that Maths timetables are available publicly, but Physics ones are only available locally. :)

    Steal yourself a free education. You can get into most lectures for free any time you want, there's no rollcall or anything and nobody will ask you to leave. I often think there must be at least one Matt Damon character in Good Will Hunting getting a free education from lightly policied Trinity lectures...

    If you actually watched that film you'll realise that he says "you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on an education you could have got a buck fifty in overdue fees at your local library". :pac:

    Yup, you can walk into pretty much any lecture you like. It's the finding the timetable which might be hard, but you could always ask here.

    +1, great film.

    I'm finishing a masters and I haven't paid a penny for education ever (not even registration fees).

    God I love the welfare state or what's left of it after the next budget!:pac:

    I did see the film, I was thinking of the scene when he was working as a cleaner and solved the super duper hard maths problem on the noticeboard.

    The Fourier series one?

    Or the topology one?
