Erasmus+ Traineeships
Erasmus+ Programme supports traineeships for students such as work placements, internships and other practical experiences abroad.
The main aim of doing traineeship is to gain experience, improve your communication, language and inter-cultural skills but also to acquire soft skills required by future employers and be well prepared for the labour market. It is recommended to combine traineeships with a study period abroad.
If you are:
• Enrolled in a nationally accredited higher education institution
• Enrolled in one of the study programmes to a recognized degree qualification
• At least in the second year of your BA degree.
Contact the international office at your university for more information on Erasmus+ opportunities
Duration:
The traineeship abroad can last from a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months or from 3 to 12 months if combined with a study period.
