Studying Abroad - Exchanges

   International Students 2017-18  

The International Exchange Programme allows Non-EU students to spend time in Waterford, Ireland and WIT students to experience life at other Non-EU Institutes/Universities.  

Non-EU students who want to spend semester at WIT 

If you are a Non-EU student looking to study at WIT as part of your degree and your Institute/University has an International Exchange Programme partnership with WIT, you could have the opportunity to study at WIT on the International Exchange Programme.

WIT students partaking in exchange studies at partner Institutes/Universities outside of Europe 

Full-time, registered WIT students opting for exchange studies outside of Europe can spend a semester at one of our non-EU partner Institutes/Universities. We have inter-institutional agreements with over 25 higher education institutes outside of the EU. Students participating in the International Exchange Programme not only gain invaluable academic and/or work training experience, but also have the opportunity to experience life in another country, develop language and intercultural skills, travel and broaden their horizons.

What is Erasmus+?  Erasmus Logo

Erasmus+ is the European Union funded programme for boosting skills and employability in education, training, youth and sport.  

It is managed in Ireland by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), click here for more information about the HEA in Ireland.

Erasmus+ offers exciting opportunities for Irish participants to study, work, volunteer, teach and train in Europe and internationally and the majority of our partners deliver modules in the English language.  While on Erasmus+ students are exempt from paying tuition fees at the host institution and receive financial support to help cover travel and living expenses.

The Erasmus+ is designed so a student can do part of their academic work in a partner institute.  

As an Erasmus+ student you get to experience another culture, improve your language skills and learn about the different approaches taken to your subjects in another Country and institute.  The time spent in the host institution is fully recognized by WIT through the use of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
