International Applications and Study Abroad
Living Costs
As well as your tuition fees, you will need to cover the cost of
your flights, accommodation, food, heating, travel, clothing,
books, and personal items. One of the largest items of
expenditure for you will be your accommodation costs and you
need to keep in mind that these are not included in your tuition
fees.
Study abroad for LIT Students: ERASMUS+
Exchange Programme
LIT has a long and successful association with the ERASMUS+
programme. Every year, students travel to study at LIT from
across the European Union while LIT students avail of the
opportunity to study at our EU Partner Institutes. LIT is
recognised by the European Union as a University Institute with
significant activity on the ERASMUS+ programme. We hope to
encourage even more students this year to take up a study
abroad period in Europe and beyond.
LIT Students opting for a study exchange will complete a
semester or full academic year of their studies at any of the
institutions with which LIT has an ERASMUS+ partnership
agreement. These studies are fully recognised by LIT by
transferring your grades and learning back into our own system
through the European Credit Transfer System.

We would advise all LIT students considering this opportunity
to first contact their course leader to secure their approval in
principle and to conduct their own initial research on
programmes elsewhere in the EU that will closely match your
programme of learning here at LIT for the time that you would
wish to go. Then come and discuss the various practical and
administrative arrangements that need to be made –
International Office will assist you with that.
