Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange and Erasmus Students
Congratulations on your acceptance to Trinity College Dublin as a Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange or Erasmus student!
Orientation Week for Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange and Erasmus Students arriving in September 2025 will take place 08 - 12 September 2025. Students will find their Orientation Timetable and other important pre-arrival information on the Timetable page in August.
Am I an Erasmus student or a Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange student?
Certain Orientation Week sessions are held specifically for Erasmus students or Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange students. This will be indicated on the Orientation Timetable page.
Erasmus students are students who are enrolled at higher-education institutions within the European Union who visit Trinity for either a semester or a full academic year. Their study at Trinity is subject to an Erasmus Agreement.*
*Students from a select number of institutions outside the EU may also visit Trinity on an Erasmus Agreement, and thus be considered Erasmus students.
Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange students are students who are enrolled at higher-education institutions outside of the European Union, whose one-semester or one-year visit to Trinity is not subject to an Erasmus Agreement. The terms 'Visiting,' 'Study Abroad,' and 'Exchange' are often used interchangeably at Trinity.
