Erasmus

Travel, Work and Explore with the Rathmines College Erasmus Programme to two European Cities
Erasmus Programme for Rathmines College Students

2025 was another successful year for our Erasmus Programme with 2 groups of students travelling to Spain and France, to complete a two-week work placement organised.

In 2025, our students travelled to Nantes (France) and Malaga (Spain). Check out our Student Erasmus Vlog and our Erasmus Blog Post created by two of our Media students who travelled to Malaga in February 2025, to find out what Erasmus is all about.

Experiencing European working life, culture and sightseeing is an invaluable experience. Erasmus takes place during the February mid-term break with flights, accommodation, travel insurance, a pre-organised work placement and pocket money included with this two-week trip. Students who have experienced the Erasmus Programme have gained valuable experience in living and working aboard with the opportunity of improving their European language skills.

 

How to Apply

Testimonials from Our Erasmus Students

During my QQI L5 studying Business and Finance, I enjoyed all my modules for example Tax, Accounting, Communications, as well an extra module I took up which was French. This led me to going on an Erasmus trip to Nantes in the North of France. It was honestly an amazing and fun trip. I fully recommend studying here at Rathmines College of Further Education.
