Outgoing Erasmus Students

Erasmus exchanges are arranged by individual schools with their partner institutions throughout the EU. 

Joint Honours students are free to apply for Erasmus arranged by both or either of their departments,  but must have the approval of both departments to participate in an exchange. SH students with a major in another subject and a minor in English can apply for the English exchanges but will be given a lower priority. 

Students from School of English can apply for  ELAN, COIMBRA, or CHARMS exchanges (which are separate from Erasmus but take place at universities within the EU) but need to make sure (i.e. research on their own) that the host universities they are interested in offer suitable English modules. 

Applications for both Erasmus and non-EU international exchanges will be done via a central online application portal, which will open this autumn.  The preliminary deadline for School of English Erasmus exchanges will be December 1st. Students wishing to submit applications for both international exchanges and Erasmus, must submit 2 separate applications. 

Online application will be available here.

School of English Erasmus Webinar 

A webinar about Erasmus exchanges through the School of English was held on the 7th October on Zoom.

The session was recorded and is available here. 

The passcode for the recorded session was emailed to 2nd year English students by Elaine Maddock in the School of English on the 8th of October.

In the 2027-28 academic year, School of English will participate in Erasmus exchanges with the institutions listed in the table below.  

While every effort will be made to accommodate student preferences, places on these exchanges are limited, and we cannot guarantee a place at one of your top choices. We therefore encourage every student to list on their applications up to 10 host universities they would be willing to consider. 

Each of these institutions offers enough modules suitable for students of English literature, taught through English, to do either one term or whole year there. You do not need to know any other languages to participate in any of our Erasmus exchanges.

All of the exchanges can be done for either MT/HT or a full year with the following exceptions: the German, Austrian and Italian partners (Hamburg, Heidelberg, Vienna, Salzburg, Bologna and Palermo), and Leuven in Belgium only accepts students for full year or HT. You cannot go for MT.

Exchanges with the UK are still administered by the School and are applied for via the Erasmus application. 

Joint Honours students should note that not all of these institutions will be considered suitable by their other department or will offer their other subject taught through English. For TJH students therefore communicating with both departments is crucial. 

The School of English does NOT require you to take any specific modules while abroad and has no requirements to fulfil towards your English capstone. You will, however, be required to submit a Learning Agreement detailing all the modules you intend to study and outlining how many credits are available for each module, which will be reviewed by the Study Abroad Coordinator. Joint Honours students will need to have their Learning agreement approved by both Coordinators. At the end of the year (or semester), the Coordinator will convert your marks back into a Trinity grade.
