Exchange, Incoming Students
Course details
Introduction
Do you wish to travel to the vibrant city of London and study at a world-leading conservatoire? Trinity Laban would be delighted to welcome your application to study with us. To be considered for entry as part of our Exchange programme, you must be a current student at an eligible institution, and you’ll need to audition in your discipline.
Key Features
You will join either the BMus (Hons) Performance/Composition, BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance, or master’s programmes in Music Performance, and undertake all modules and assessments as appropriate to your year of study. Trinity Laban operates the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), which enables you to achieve graded credit for each module you undertake once you have completed the assessment requirements.

Detailed Information
In order to apply for Trinity Laban’s Exchange programme, you should talk to the International Mobility Office or Erasmus+ coordinators at your home institution (where applicable). They will be able to tell you whether your institution has an exchange partnership with Trinity Laban.
ERASMUS+
The UK Government has decided that, following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the UK will no longer be a programme country in the European exchange scheme, Erasmus+. However, funding may still be available to students from institutions in Erasmus programme countries to undertake mobilities in ‘third countries’ like the UK. Speak to the exchange co-ordinator in your home institution to find out what funding options may be available to you.
PLEASE NOTE: Trinity Laban no longer accepts any applications sent by post.
ECTS Credits
Trinity Laban operates with ECTS credits. It is possible to attend Trinity Laban for the following periods:
Autumn Term: September – December (20 ECTS Credits)
Half Year: September – March (30 ECTS Credits)
Full Year: September – July (60 ECTS Credits)
Upon successful completion of the Programme, you will be provided with a transcript. Please note that an official ratified transcript will not be available until the full academic year is finished in July.
Accommodation
Trinity Laban is happy to assist students in finding accommodation for their stay at Trinity Laban. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to stay in the Student Halls but our accommodation team will be happy to help you in any way they can. If you are successful in applying to the programme you will also be put in touch with other successful students in order to potentially find housemates.
You can find comprehensive information on our housing assistance on our website.
Visas
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, all incoming students may need to apply for a visa in order to come and study in the UK for more than 6 months.
Please note that we do not sponsor Student visas for this programme. If you wish to study with us for a full-year exchange, you will need to have valid immigration status, such as Settled or Pre-Settled Status, in order to study in the UK for the full year.
You can find comprehensive information on our visa assistance on our website.
