Outgoing non-EU Exchange Students

About the programmes

International exchanges are administered centrally via TCD’s Global Office. Places are limited and competitive: the minimum academic requirement is an Upper Second (II.1) result from JF year, and the exchanges are open to College-wide competition. While you do not pay tuition fees at the host institution, you are advised to carefully consider the financial implications before applying for non-EU exchanges, as flights, accommodation, visas, and health insurance can be expensive. 

List of the international exchanges available to Trinity students 

A complete list of international exchanges available to Trinity students is available on the College's Study Abroad website: 

https://www.tcd.ie/global/mobility/outbound/where-can-i-go/outside-europe/  

Nearly all exchanges in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are suitable for students from the School of English. Many of the non-Anglophone destinations are suitable too (e.g. Yonsei, Kyoto, National University of Singapore, Chinese University of Hong Kong,  City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University). If you are interested in any other institutions in non-Anglophone countries, email Dr. Ema Vyroubalova (vyroubae@tcd.ie) to figure out if they might still be suitable.
