What does (St.) mean after your name?

Getting a LOT of senate related material sent to me at the moment as a graduate of the college.

However, on the letters it is addressed to me and then my degree and masters academic letters follow and then (St.). What does this refer to does anyone know?

Thank you.

Thank you for the first real reply. That is a possibility and maybe their records aren't up to date but I'm no longer a student unless the ternure of Schols is still in place therefore still making me a student on some technicality?

I think it means you did a taught masters. I remember reading in the calendar that tcd use MSc(ind.) for research masters and MSc(st.) for taught ones.

You're getting a lot of Senate related mail because you are a graduate of the University, not the College.

That must be it, thank you.

Pedantic much?

Dublin University has only one constituent college, therefore its not that much of a stretch really is it. Were not in a court here.

Actually Dublin University has several constituent colleges - Trinity College, Marino College of Education, Froebel College of Education (for the next year or so), Church of Ireland College of Education.

Although I agree that he was being pedantic.

Pretty sure none of them except Trinity is a constituent college. The others are affiliated in some way, but constituent college has a particular definition/significance.

I agree it was pedantic, but there are graduates of the College and not the University that therefore cannot vote. Those who get Certs like the Dental Hygiene Cert., I think is one example, are graduates of the College and not the University and therefore get no vote.

and graduates of DIT before 1993 get a vote too, if I recall correctly.
