Erasmus+ Traineeships

Under the EU mobility programme, Erasmus+, not only is it possible to fund a study trip at a partner university, but also a work placement in an EU country, plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia or Turkey.

The objective of the programme is to enable students and graduates to gain work experience in an international environment and to familiarise themselves with the requirements of an EU-wide labour market. Over and above this they can also broaden key qualifications such as communication and cooperation skills, openness and knowledge of other cultures and markets.

Under Erasmus+ students of all nationalities may be funded in each study cycle (bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees) for up to 12 months each. (Erasmus+ studies or Erasmus+ work placement or Erasmus+ studies & Erasmus+ work placement). This also includes the possibility of undertaking a graduate work placement under Erasmus+.

Both mandatory and voluntary work placements may be funded.

The activities undertaken abroad must be recognised in accordance with the Learning Agreement (e.g. entry in the diploma supplement, ECTS, EUROPASS).

The contact for Erasmus traineeships is the Erasmus Traineeship Office Saxony-Anhalt. The website provides information on preparing the traineeship and applying for Erasmus funding.
