Outgoing Exchanges

Outgoing Exchange

Students have the opportunity to study abroad in the third (junior sophister) year for a semester or, in many cases, for the full year, as part of our extensive Exchange Programme. Trinity Business School has over 40 institutional partners in 18 countries.

Students also have access to over thirty Trinity College Partners suitable for Business. Students of BESS and Trinity Joint Honours may be eligible to attend partners of their other subject’s School/Department.

As this is an exchange programme, tuition fees at the host institution are waived. Students pay their normal TCD fees and will also receive any of their usual grants (plus a SUSI top-up if relevant). Students attending EU partner institutions will also be eligible to receive Erasmus+ funding (this varies every year and depends on the destination but will be approximately €300 per month). Students attending non-EU partners may apply for the TCD Global Mobility Bursary. Please note that these grants are paid after you commence your studies abroad. For questions about the grant, please contact Global.Mobility@tcd.ie.

To be eligible to go on exchange, you must have attained at minimum an overall grade of 50% in your first year which should be maintained in second year (this does not apply for students of Business and a Language all of whom go for the full year). It is a competitive process, based on your first-year grades, and there are limited places available in each institution. All eligible students have received offers to go on exchange in recent years.

Make sure you go through the TBS Guidelines, Information & Procedures for JS Exchange 2025-26 to understand the processes as well as the responsibilities of students on exchange. You can also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section.
