Please be aware that we can currently only process applications for internships abroad which start on Monday, 04.09.2023 (earliest).
In order to give as many students as possible the opportunity to receive an Erasmus+ grant, the maximum funding period is four months. The actual duration of your internship may exceed the scholarship.
Please keep in mind your complete documents must reach us 4 weeks before the start of your internship. Plan enough time to collect all the information and signatures you will need, plus the time we will need to check your documents. A retroactive grant agreement after the start of the internship is not possible. If you can’t meet the application deadline, it is mandatory to attend an appointment with Michael Brielmaier or Iris Geise.
