Best Internships for Erasmus+, with Intern Abroad HQ.

An international internship is an excellent way to gain practical career experience, grow your network, immerse yourself in a different culture, and maybe learn a new language. The cost of interning overseas may be less than you expect – and if you live in Europe, it’s worth looking at whether you are eligible to apply for funding from the Erasmus+ program.

What is Erasmus+?

The Erasmus+ program gives students in higher education in EU Member States the opportunity to take part in an internship in another European destination. These internships are also referred to as “traineeships” and need to be between two and twelve months duration and give you experience in your chosen academic field. These opportunities are also open to recent graduates.

Interning in a different country through an Erasmus+ internship or traineeship allows you to improve your communication, language and intercultural skills, as well as soft skills highly valued by future employers.

How to find the best Erasmus internship programs

To be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant, you can intern at any organization in an EU country. When selecting your Erasmus+ traineeship or internship program, the key things you should consider are:

Find an internship that meets Erasmus+ requirements:

  • To be eligible for Erasmus+ funding, your internship must be relevant for your degree-related learning and personal development needs and, wherever possible, be integrated into your study programme.
  • To find an internship program that fits your career ambitions and is eligible for Erasmus+ funding, you can browse 200+ internships spanning diverse career fields available through Intern Abroad HQ. To make this process easier, the Intern Abroad HQ team can advise you on how to select the right internship program for you and support you with the paperwork required for your Erasmus+ funding application.

Consider the total cost of your internship alongside the Erasmus+ grant:

  • The total cost of your internship will vary depending on the destination you choose.
  • Intern Abroad HQ’s internships are among the most affordable options, with two month programs starting at just $1,919. This fee includes the arrangement of your internship placement as well as your accommodation and some meals.
  • Your Erasmus+ grant will be a huge help, but may not cover the expenses for your entire internship or your independent travel on the weekends. Therefore, it is worth considering the cost of living in each destination to ensure you choose one that will fit your budget.

How to apply for an Erasmus scholarship or grant

Once you have selected your internship or traineeship, you will need to apply for an Erasmus+ grant through the international or Erasmus+ office at your university. The staff in this office will be knowledgeable about the Erasmus+ program and will be able to guide you through the application process for funding. The Intern Abroad HQ team is always on hand to help provide any supporting documentation needed.
