Outbound Students

The Study Abroad year takes place during your third year (Junior Sophister) and is mandatory for Trinity students enrolled in the following programmes:

Trinity Single Honours (TSH) and Joint Honours (TJH) students

SH students and TJH students are also provided with opportunities to participate in Erasmus/Study Abroad exchanges during their third year of study.

Planning your Exchange

If you are a student on a two-subject programme (e.g. TJH), where one of your subjects belongs to another School, you must make contact with their School Office regarding their particular application process.

Where you can study abroad on Erasmus is dependent on the subjects you study. Subjects have exchange partnerships agreed with various host universities. You will apply through the subject's department for the exchange(s) that you wish to go on.

If you are on a Joint Honours pathway (TJH) you can apply to either one or both of your Subjects exchanges. The host university does not need to have a formal partnership with both subjects, but they must offer both subjects for study and have resources or departments available to support both subjects.

Erasmus and Study Abroad Coordinators

Each department in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies has an assigned coordinator, they are your main point of contact.

Study Abroad Learning Agreement

You must have a Study Abroad Learning Agreement reviewed and approved by the Study Abroad Coordinator(s) and UCAO to ensure you will meet your academic requirements to progress to your final year of study.

Your mobility will occur during your Junior Sophister year, either for a full year or one semester exchange. It is essential that you have your Learning Agreement approved and complies with their pathway requirements.  At the conclusion of your studies abroad you must submit your Erasmus transcripts to progress to your Senior Sophister (fourth year) of study at Trinity. 

Fees and funding

Students register and pay their tuition fees to Trinity at the start of the third year (Junior Sophister), no additional tuitional fees are required while studying abroad at the host university.

All other costs, including travel, accommodation, health insurance, and general living expenses, are the student's responsibility. However, subsistence funding is provided by the EU Erasmus+ programme, and your departmental Study Abroad Coordinator will provide you with this information.

Transcript of Results

Outbound Students should upload their Transcript of Results using the Transcript of Results Upload form on the TJH Study Abroad webpage, where deadlines will be updated.
