Erasmus Semester One â Contact the School/Departmental Erasmus coordinator(s) to register your interest in Erasmus . â Attend information sessions on Erasmus opportunities and research each of your options. Every department has its own set of Erasmus agreements. Make sure that your choices are compatible with your degree subject(s) and your pathway. â Examine your School/Department’s application procedures and deadlines. Each School has its own process for this but the criteria typically revolve around motivation, academic excellence and fit. â Submit your application as advised by the relevant School/Department. Semester two â Receive the placement offer from your School/Department. â The Global Mobility Team will nominate you to the host university. â Your host university will then make contact with you asking for additional information so they can complete your application. Follow all instructions the partner university sends you within the deadlines given to ensure there are no issues with the acceptance of your offer. This is the student’s responsibility. At the end of the academic year â Organise your Erasmus grant documentation (and Learning Agreement). â Attend pre-departure information sessions hosted by Trinity Global. Trinity College Dublin | GoGlobal! Please note, timelines may differ depending on if you are participating in mobility during Semester 1, Semester 2 or Full Year. Semester 2 students may not be able to apply to your host university until later in the year. This is dependent on host university requirements and deadlines. 12 REMEMBER! Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted. First year grades are important for this process: When applying for exchange, most students will be applying in their second year of studies and we will be looking for your first year grades. There are some exceptions to this (for example students in the School of Engineering go abroad in fourth year and the application is therefore based on second year grades). Credits gained during your semester or year abroad will transfer back to Trinity and count towards your final year. During your time abroad, you are required to register online with Trinity for the academic year. Although you will not have to pay any tuition to the host university you will still have to pay your regular Trinity fees. All students abroad on an exchange need to register as usual for your next year at Trinity. Please note in scenarios where students wish to return to Trinity from their mobility for exceptional reasons, there are specific reintegration deadlines. Students can seek approval to return from exchange early, but no later than week four of the relevant semester. If a student returns later than this they would have to repeat the year.
