To study with Technological University Dublin ( TU Dublin) as an Erasmus or exchange student for a full academic year or one semester, your home university must already have an inter- institutional agreement (IIA) with TU Dublin, signed in the subject area you wish to study while here and you must then be nominated by your home University.
TU Dublin does not accept Free Movers (i.e. students who wish to study with us but whose home universities do not have an IIA with TU Dublin). Students who wish to apply for a whole programme / or entry to complete your degree should contact our Admissions Office. In this case you will be considered a fulltime student (not an Erasmus exchange student), and the usual admission procedures for full time students will apply.

You will receive an email from the TU Dublin Erasmus and Exchange Section to explain how to apply online and what documents are needed. This email with the online application link is sent to the e-mail address, the home university provides for you at nomination. Once you submit your application form, you will be contacted to confirm receipt of your application form.
