Exchange Programmes

The Department of Political Science is a partner in Socrates exchanges with the Institut d'études politiques in Strasbourg and Paris, and this year we are proud to introduce a new exchange with the University of Zurich in tandem with the affliated ETH Zurich. Students taking Political Science as a subject in joint honors may also go abroad on an exchange administered by their other department, subject to approval of their course of study abroad by the Department of Political Science. There is close co-operation among the four departments involved in the BESS programme (Business Studies, Economics, Political Science and Sociology).

Application Form for Erasmus Exchanges

In addition there are opportunities for students to go on one of several international exchanges. These are open to all students on a College-wide basis and students must apply for through the International office.

Application for University-Wide International Exchanges

*Any student that takes part in an exchange during JS year and hopes to study single-honours politics during SS year must ensure that the modules taken during the exchange include a module on quantitative research methods, equivalent to PO3600, that is approved by the Department's international coordinator, Dr Jeffrey Weber .

*The Department of Political Science can authorise a 'study abroad' only if exchange programmes are organised by the TCD International Office, the Department of Political Science, or another Department/School Trininity that is involved in the student's degree programme.
