One of the program's objectives is to promote mobility and international cooperation between universities and companies and to enable students and graduates to gain work and life experience in other EU countries with an internship grant.
With Erasmus+, students can complete internships in the program countries in other European countries during each study phase:
- Students can receive multiple grants in each study cycle (Bachelor's, Master's, doctorate)
- Up to twelve months each in the Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral programs
- Internships in other European countries lasting 2–12 months each (also several times)
- Internships within one year of completing a study phase (graduate internships) if the application was submitted within the final year of the study phase
What is an Erasmus+ internship abroad?
Students and graduates can use Erasmus+ to complete internships in companies or organizations in other European countries.
Stays are funded in all program countries (EU member states or their overseas territories as well as Turkey and the EEA states Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway).
Requirements for an Erasmus+ internship abroad
- Regular enrolment at a German university; graduates can be funded if they were selected within their final study year and complete the internship abroad within one year of graduation
- The home university holds a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE)
- Internships in EU institutions and other EU bodies, including specialized agencies and bodies managing EU programmes (e.g. National Agencies) are not eligible for funding
Advantages of an Erasmus+ internship abroad
- EU internship contract between university, company and student
- Academic recognition of the internship
- Support during the internship by a contact person at the home university and one at the company
- Funding for additional costs incurred abroad
- Support with preparation (cultural, linguistic, organizational)
- Special grants for students with children
- Special grants for students with disabilities
Erasmus+ funding
The financial support for Erasmus+ internships is based on the different costs of living in the target countries (“program countries”).
