Global Mobility is any international experience that is closely aligned to a student’s programme of study, approved as a formal mobility programme by the relevant School and normally at least four weeks in duration. Over the past number of years, Trinity has established collaborations with some of the world’s leading universities. For Trinity students, this means access to a network of more than 300 exchange partners and the option to spend time abroad during their degree, typically in third year. Trinity students can study across Europe under the Erasmus Programme or further afield to the US, China, Australia, India, Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere as part of the International Exchange programme. An increasing number of overseas internships and short programmes as well as clinical and research placements are also available. Students do not pay additional tuition fees and can compete for Global Mobility Bursaries to off-set the costs of travel. The number of students at Trinity studying abroad has significantly increased in recent years. In 2022/23, 37% of third year undergraduate Trinity students undertook an international experience as part of their programme. Our Global Engagement Strategy puts a renewed emphasis on outbound mobility. In a world where our graduates will need to address many global challenges, it is important that their university education equips them with the ability to work with other cultures and countries. Trinity Global continues to develop new student mobility opportunities and strives to work with academic coordinators to remove barriers and offers an increasing number of bursaries. Studying abroad is an important part of a Trinity education and students who undertake global mobility programmes have the opportunity to develop sought after skills and attributes such as linguistic skills, intercultural competencies and global citizenship. These demanding times require us to be as flexible and innovative in our approach as possible, and we continue to explore new ways of facilitating mobility. 01 Trinity College Dublin | GoGlobal!
