9. How to pick your modules? Take about 80% - 100% of a Trinity student s module load (but meet the requirements of your home university); visit some modules in first week to help you decide Take a good mix of modules subject to schedule and restrictions Take modules that give you a different perspective on the world Consider taking interesting modules that might not be available in your home university Erasmus, International Exchange and Visiting Student Welcome Meeting 04.10.2024 Dr. Michelle D Arcy 9

10. What is the right module load? One Term Students Between 25 and 30 ECTS We do not recommend taking more than 30 credits per term. If your home institution asks you to do more, please contact your TCD Coordinator for assistance.

Modules may involve in-class oral presentations, written papers, individual and/or group assignments, and/or term tests. Lecturers will explain the tutorial arrangements for their modules during Week 1. Almost all modules award a proportion of the final mark to essays, assignments, tests etc. Tutorials: Note that many modules will offer several tutorials that cover the same topic usually students are assigned to a tutorial group. If in doubt ask your lecturer. Erasmus, International Exchange and Visiting Student Welcome Meeting 04.10.2024 Dr. Michelle D Arcy 19
