Erasmus and Year Abroad Exchanges

Outbound Students (Trinity)

A year or semester studying abroad is one of the highlights of the Trinity experience. Immersing yourself in Italian language, culture, life (and sunshine!) is a valuable way of achieving fluency and will open your world. We encourage you to spend as much time in Italy as you can.

All TJH students must spend at least two months in Italy before taking their final examinations.

There are a few ways to achieve this:

  1. An Erasmus/Study Abroad exchange (in your third year only)
  2. A Year ‘off-books’ working and living in Italy before your final year
  3. A non-Erasmus year at the University of Pavia, funded by one of our bursaries
  4. Taking a summer in Italy

All ES/MEELC students must spend their Junior Sophister year abroad. This is an integral and required part of the European Studies and MEELC programmes

Inbound Students (Visiting)

The Department of Italian has for many years welcomed numerous Erasmus and non-EU students, whose presence greatly enhances the animated atmosphere in the Department.
