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.

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.

As well as being the place to collect your ID Card, the Orientation Hub will also have a range of services on site to help you get set up and ready for your first week.
