September 2024 Arrivals

Orientation Week for Visiting/Study Abroad, Erasmus, or Exchange students arriving in September 2024 will take place 2nd - 6th September 2024.

Students will find their Orientation timetable and other important pre-arrival information on the Timetable page in due course. Orientation sessions contain important information about Module Enrolment, College supports and services, and living in Dublin, so please try to attend.

Module Enrolment

Module Enrolment is what we call the process you follow to sign up to your classes. You will be invited to complete Module Enrolment before arriving in Dublin, with an amendment period taking place during Orientation Week.

Am I an Erasmus student or a Visiting student?

Certain Orientation Week sessions are held specifically for Erasmus or Visiting 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 one semester or for 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 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. Visiting students might also be referred to as 'Study Abroad' or 'Exchange' students.
