Students in their third year (Junior Sophister) may spend the full year or one semester at one of our partner institutions. These exchange agreements mean that no fees are paid to the partner. Normal fees are paid to TCD and any grants or scholarships will still be paid to the student as usual. Credits earned in our partner institutions will be transferred to TCD as part of your degree.
Exchanges within the EU are eligible for Erasmus+ funding (approx. €300-€500 per month). Non-EU exchanges may be eligible for some funding through the TCD Global Mobility Bursary.
There are two main type of exchanges: School-level and College-wide. School level exchanges are specific agreements with Business Schools and Departments in our partner institutions. All of the EU/Erasmus exchanges and some non-EU exchanges are School-level (see details below).
Two separate applications exist for School-level and College-wide exchanges. The two processes are coordinated so that a student may go on one exchange only.
Trinity Business School works with the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy (SSSP) for the School-level exchange programme and with the Global Relations Office who run the College-wide exchanges.
Information sessions are held early in the academic year for 2nd year (SF) students who apply in October and November for their exchanges the following year. Offers are made based on 1st year (JF) overall grade and are conditional on maintaining a 2.1 or 2.2 overall grade and passing all modules on first attempt in 2nd year (SF).
More information will be shared with students via Teams and student will be informed when available. Queries may be directed to [email protected] but please do your research first.
