Traineeship for Graduates

Basic information

• A practical traineeship that entails working for a foreign institution with minimum working hours of 40 hours per week.

• Realised in cooperation with the EDUCA consortium.

• While such an internship can be realised only after graduation, applications must be submitted while you are still studying.

• This traineeship must be completed no more than 12 months after graduation.

  Short-term mobility for PhD students (5-30 days), not available for graduates (only long-term mobility is available).

• The minimum duration is 2 months, and the maximum duration varies according to the conditions set by the EDUCA consortium. It is currently set at 3 months (depending on the use of the allocated grant). In the case of drawing from Call 24, this can also be for 6 months.

  For current information, see the link below.

• This opportunity enables fresh graduates to obtain a scholarship, even after losing their student status.

• Time spent on a traineeship for graduates counts towards the maximum permitted total mobility length of 12 months per study cycle. Calculation of the permitted length of a traineeship for graduates therefore takes into account all Erasmus+ mobilities completed during a study cycle.

  (If, for example, you went on an Erasmus+ study stay of 10 months' duration during your master's degree, then the maximum permitted length of your graduate traineeship is only 2 months.)

• This type of mobility is governed by the qualification conditions set by the EDUCA consortium for graduates.
