Study Abroad Year

Our dynamic students enjoy the challenge of engaging with new and different cultures, not only in the classroom but living and studying abroad for a year.

The Junior Sophister Year Abroad is an integral and compulsory part of the MEELC degree programme, and takes place in your third year.

Study Abroad (full academic year) Students can choose from a half year (one semester) at a European University and a half year (one semester) at a University in the Middle East or A full year (2 semesters) at a university in the country of your European language of choice.

The Year Abroad is a hugely formative experience.  It is both challenging and energising. For many of you, it will be the first time you live away from home.  For some, it will be the first time you reside in a foreign country. The vast majority of students enjoy it immensely, and you are likely to come away from it with both a reservoir of memories and a feeling of personal development.

The MEELC Study Abroad handbook will help you plan ahead, and to ensure that your academic activities abroad meet Trinity’s requirements, enabling you progress successfully into the Senior Sophister year.
