 Practice makes perfect or "You pay us in the winter, we pay you in the summer"!
Trinity requires all of its full time undergraduate students to gain practical work experience prior to graduation. This experience enables students to acquire vital hands-on training in the multifaceted hospitality industry. This practical experience (internship) is a fully paid work program and earns 4 academic credits for each of the three summers.
Full-time resident students have the opportunity to experience what they study right on the campus, where they enjoy excellent living conditions at Terra Maris Hotel and Convention Center. They live, dine, study, work and relax in a five-star atmosphere.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
At TRINITY we recognize the students' need to relax, let off steam and clear their minds. Athletic and recreational facilities are at the students' disposal. There are three swimming pools right on the campus and a sandy, blue flag beach is only a few steps away. Outside the campus, students can enjoy life, meet and interact with other young people on Crete, the largest island in Greece, share a rich social life, sports, dance, song and other entertainment opportunities.
Crete: A fabulous place to visit - an even better place to study
Crete, the birthplace of European Civilization, is an extremely attractive tourism destination. The climate is mild, the sun shines over 315 days a year and the island is blessed with a unique natural landscape and a rich cultural heritage. Strong family and community ties and a very friendly atmosphere make Crete an ideal living environment.
