Erasmus+ Traineeships
Within the Erasmus+ programme, students can also benefit from a mobility period for traineeships. This opportunity is also available to recent graduates and can last between 2 and 12 months.
Study periods and traineeship periods can be alternated, up to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle. For single-cycle degree programmes, the total mobility period is 24 months.
Through Erasmus+, students can attend courses, take exams, conduct research for their dissertation, undertake internship experiences, and use the facilities available at foreign host institutions, without paying any additional fees beyond those required by their home university.
Erasmus+ students also receive a mobility grant, the amount of which is adjusted according to the cost of living in the host country. Before departure, all study or traineeship activities must be approved by both the home and host universities.
