As part of the Erasmus+ program, the “Erasmus Traineeship” action allows regularly enrolled Third-Year students to undertake an internship abroad lasting approximately three months. The program provides a scholarship of varying amounts depending on the country of destination.
Those who have already participated in Erasmus for Study can also participate again in Erasmus Traineeship.
Where it can be carried out
Erasmus+ Traineeship can take place in all EU countries and in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Switzerland (subject to special conditions).
