Would you like the opportunity to study abroad as part of your undergraduate degree?

In consultation with your Head of Subject or academic coordinator, School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science students can apply to spend one trimester of Stage 3 or one full academic year of Stage 3studying abroad at a UCD partner University. 

SBBS students who wish to study abroad during Stage 3 must apply in Stage 2.  You can apply to be considered for both Erasmus (EU) and non-Eu Exchanges, but if offered one of each you must make a decision quickly as to which one to take.  

Students applying for study abroad inStage 3should choose a host institution that has a suitable programme for your subject major. Please see links below to current list of partner universities

SBBS Study Abroad Student Testimonial - Alison Howett

Alison Howett, who majored in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, spent  Semester One of Stage 3  in McGill University in Montreal, Canada (from September to December 2017). She wrote the following article on her experiences in Canada as an exchange student:

“I was standing in the centre of Toronto airport, having missed my connecting flight and feeling slightly lost amid the other travellers eager to get on with their own business.

As I am writing this piece, almost a year later however, I would do almost anything to be back in that position.
