Application and selection criteria

You can apply for Erasmus+ internship funding abroad using the application form in Mobility Online. Please note that in order to apply for Erasmus+ funding, you need a confirmation from the internship provider and the application documents must be uploaded at least six weeks before the start of the internship. Completing the application form alone is not enough.

You can find the application form here.

Once you have completed the application form in Mobility Online, you will receive a confirmation of registration by e-mail with information on how to proceed. The following application documents must be uploaded or completed in the Mobility Online workflow:

 

 

Ap­plic­a­tion doc­u­ments

The letter of motivation should include information on:

  • The relevance of the internship abroad to your field of studies,
  • Your motivation for completing an internship abroad and the (academic) goals that you hope to achieve,
  • Your future career aspirations after completing your studies.

The letter of motivation should not exceed 2 pages. Please use the standard MS-Word settings for the page margins (2.5 cm left and right, 2 cm for top and bottom). The line spacing should be set to 1.5 and the font size should not be larger than Arial 11 point.

If you will use a "sustainable means of transport" for at least 50% of the distance of your arrival and departure, you have the possibility to apply for a subsidy of one-time 50 Euros and a maximum of 4 additional travel days (daily rate according to country category).

Sustainable means of transport are (as of 11/2021):
Train, bus, carpooling, cycling, walking.

Please complete the document even if you do not wish to apply for additional green travel funding, as we have to document this under Erasmus+.
