Be a part of an international Formula Student community
Every year Formula Trinity undergo an extensive recruitment campaign to enable students the opportunity to take part in our Internal Combustion and Autonomous projects. We always welcome new members to these projects as the learning experience is part of our mission statement. See some common questions answered below. If your question has not been answered, please email business@formulatrinity.com
No, we accept all disciplines. Throughout the years, we have had students of geology, physics, law, business and mathematics join the team. So long as you are passionate and have the time, we will find a way to fit you in.
Yes. All members must be enrolled in Trinity College Dublin at the time of application.
Yes! Some current members are master students, as the competition rules allow it. Unfortunately, we cannot allow postgraduates who are not master students, but if you want to help the team, please contact us and we will see how you can help.
Students seeking to join the team can apply via the digital form during recruitment periods. The recruitment periods are all announced on our social media channels, with the next one starting on September 10th, 2021. The application form can be found at the bottom of this page, and if your application is successful, the team will contact you with the details provided.
The application process is quite competitive so we encourage all applicants to have some experience in engineering projects if your application is for a dynamic department such as powertrain, drivetrain or chassis. However we do not expect Junior Freshman to have experience in these areas as a prerequisite. Formula Student is as much about teaching and learning as it is competing.
You can apply for Autonomous in the same general application. however, given that Autonomous is presently a research project, the nature of the work, and thusly the nature of the evaluation, will be significantly different to that of other departments.
Due to COVID-19, access to Trinity College Dublin is heavily regulated. Most of the design and analysis work will be done at home. Some members will be permitted access in our labs to carry critical test and assembly work. All meetings will be done through online calls.
