The ERASMUS programme enables students from different<br />
programmes to undertake up to a year of undergraduate or<br />
postgraduate study at a continental <strong>University</strong>. The linguistic,<br />
intellectual, cultural and social value of the period spent abroad<br />
has made participation in the programme a highly popular<br />
choice for students.<br />
Programmes at UCC which provide for a compulsory year<br />
abroad in Europe include:<br />
• BA (Language and Cultural Stud<strong>ie</strong>s) Pathway<br />
• BA (European Stud<strong>ie</strong>s) Pathway<br />
• BA (Drama and Theatre Stud<strong>ie</strong>s – International) Pathway<br />
• BCL French/ BCL German/ BCL International<br />
• BComm (International) - French/German/Spanish/Italian/<br />
Irish. Students of the BComm International/Irish also have the<br />
opportunity to choose a placement with an associated project<br />
in an organisation which conducts its business through the<br />
medium of Irish.<br />
In all cases, you will follow a programme at one of our partner<br />
institutions in Europe where you will improve your language<br />
profic<strong>ie</strong>ncy and gain insights into other academic, cultural and<br />
social systems. On your return to UCC, full academic credit will<br />
be awarded for courses taken.<br />
You pay no extra fees at the partner university and you will also receive<br />
a modest grant. UCC has over 150 partner universit<strong>ie</strong>s across Europe in<br />
cit<strong>ie</strong>s such as Barcelona, Munich, Paris, Rome and V<strong>ie</strong>nna.<br />
China<br />
If you opt to pursue the BA (Chinese Stud<strong>ie</strong>s) Pathway or the<br />
BComm International/Chinese Stud<strong>ie</strong>s you will spend the<br />
third year of the programme at a Chinese partner university<br />
improving your language and intercultural skills. Opportunit<strong>ie</strong>s<br />
to study in China, at the postgraduate level, are also available.<br />
Further information on all of these options is available at<br />
