Internship Abroad

The ERASMUS + programme supports internships for students in a host institution in other European countries (excluding EU institutions or institutions that manage EU programmes, as well as diplomatic representations of the students' countries of origin). Funding is possible for a mandatory internship or a voluntary internship between two and twelve months. Graduates can also receive a mobility grant as long as the application was made during their studies.

The University of Erfurt is a member of the regional EU-internship consortium. The application, organization and funding of an ERASMUS internship is organized by the office "EU Internship Thuringia - Service for Students and Graduates of Thuringian Universities". An application for funding must be submitted to the service office  approximately four months before the internship begins. Please also send an e-mail to io.outgoing@uni-erfurt.de informing us that you have submitted an application. The e-mail should contain the following information: your name, your study programme, your host country, your placement period.

The forms and information are available on the website of the office "EU Internship Thuringia - Service for Students and Graduates of Thuringian Universities".

As part of the DAAD PROMOS programme, the University of Erfurt awards grants for internships outside of Europe. The grants are aimed at students whose international projects cannot be funded in any other funding programme (e.g. ERASMUS or other DAAD programme).

The Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO) promotes compulsory internships in France which are recognised or at least strongly recommended as part of the degree programme by the German home university. Bachelor students of all disciplines under 31 years of age can be sponsored for an internship of 1 to 3 months. A permanent residence in Germany is a condition. The scholarship can be cumulated with an internship allowance or another scholarship (except for financial assistance from the German Academic Exchange Service or German-French University).

Within the framework of the "Diversity and Participation" strategy, the scholarship is only awarded to participants who would not be able to complete an internship in the partner country without the support of the FGYO.
