WHY GO?“Going to Dublin for my Erasmus placement was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed shadowing the student recruitment and outreach team at Mater Dei Institute of Education. The university was so different to BSU (...)
When I wasn't at Mater Dei I embraced the local culture and watched the parades, visited the castle (..) The Erasmus has definitely been one of the highlights from my career at the university.”
