Erasmus+ traineeships
Erasmus+ supports traineeships (work placements, internships, etc) abroad for students currently enrolled in higher education institutions in Programme countries at Bachelor and Master level as well as for doctoral candidates. These opportunities are also open to recent graduates. By doing a traineeship abroad with Erasmus+, you can improve not only your communication, language and inter-cultural skills, but also soft skills highly valued by future employers, as well as become more entrepreneurial. Read more about the benefits of an exchange abroad. You can also combine your Erasmus+ traineeship with a study period abroad.
Requirements
This opportunity is open for students registered in a higher education institution holding an Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education. Your traineeship must be relevant to your degree-related learning and personal development needs and, wherever possible, be integrated into your study programme. You may carry out a traineeship at any organisation in an Erasmus+ Programme Country (with the exception of EU institutions, bodies and agencies). Both students and non-students can benefit from this programme, including recent graduates, vocational learners, and professionals looking to enhance their skills or explore new career paths. After graduation, you have up to one year to partake in this programme.

Length
Traineeships for students in Bachelor or Master degree programmes:
- Long-term mobilities: minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months of physical mobility.
- Short-term mobilities: between 5 to 30 days of physical mobility.
Maximum total duration: 12 months within one study cycle. It is possible to do more than one traineeship within that time-frame. It is important to note that if you’ve already done 6 months of Erasmus+ study mobility in your current study cycle, you can only get Erasmus+ funding for a traineeship for the remaining time - up to a total of 12 months for all mobility activities combined.
Traineeships for doctoral candidates:
- From 5 to 30 days or from 2 to 12 months of physical mobility (a study mobility may include a complementary traineeship period, if planned).
Study fields
The fields of this programme depend on the available traineeships, however, the field of your traineeship should match the field of your studies and be a relevant professional experience.
Be careful! If it is a curricular traineeship, some higher education institutions have certain criteria to partake in these programmes. Don’t forget to be sure to know these criteria and look for a traineeship according to it.
