What Are Erasmus Internships and How Do They Work?

Erasmus internships are international work placements funded by the Erasmus+ program, run by the European Commission.

Open to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students, as well as recent graduates, these internships offer hands-on experience in various fields. 

Interns apply through their university’s Erasmus+ office, receive financial support, gain valuable skills and networks while working abroad, enhancing their employability and cultural understanding.

They offer a great way to actually see another culture whilst also getting important work experience. 

There’s also a hidden opportunity, usually when you do a job or 2 jobs for 3-6 months each, it can be frowned upon by future employers, not internships though!

So what a great way to test out what you might like and see quickly whether you like it or not, without the potential negative repercussions that you might get if these were full time jobs.

5 Key Benefits of Erasmus Internships

Completing an Erasmus internship offers numerous benefits for students and recent graduates:

  1. Gain Professional Experience: Work in diverse, international business environments, learning different practices and management styles.
  2. Develop Entrepreneurial Skills: Build creative and entrepreneurial skills highly valued by future employers. Many former Erasmus+ interns have even started their own businesses, showcasing the program’s impact on fostering entrepreneurial spirit.
  3. Improve Language and Teamwork Skills: Enhance your foreign language proficiency and interpersonal teamwork skills by collaborating with multicultural teams.
  4. Cultural Immersion: Deepen your understanding of other cultures and ways of life by living and working abroad.
  5. Explore Career Opportunities: Discover new career paths through Erasmus+ traineeships, which support students and recent graduates, including vocational education and training (VET) opportunities.

These internships provide both personal growth and professional development, helping you stand out in the job market.

Conditions and Requirements

To apply for an Erasmus internship, there are specific requirements and conditions you must meet.

Eligibility

  • Must be currently enrolled in a higher education institution in a Programme Country or be a recent graduate (within 12 months).
  • Open to students at Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD levels, and vocational education and training (VET) students.

Duration

Internships typically last between 3 to 12 months. In our experience we’ve found the ideal length internship to be 7-8 months, enough time for you to settle in but also gives you the summer to go traveling or explore other things

Learning Agreement

You, your university, and the host organization must sign a Learning Agreement, outlining your internship tasks and goals. If you’re unsure what this is, give us a message and we can go into some more detail.

Deadlines

Follow the specific deadlines and requirements set by both your university and the host organization – but mostly your university, so ask the coordinators if it’s not clear.

Equally remember you can do an Erasmus internship as a graduate, you just need to make sure that all the documents are signed BEFORE you stop being a student But the internship can begin and continue on after you have graduated.

Erasmus+ Financial Support

Grants are available to support living expenses during your internship abroad. These figures do vary based on the country so worth checking this one out further here

University Coordination

Often it’s your university’s Erasmus+ office that will manage your application and ensure you meet eligibility criteria.

Through theInterna we try to drive as many paid opportunities as possible.

The Erasmus+ grant typically ranges from €400 to €700 per month, depending on the country’s cost of living​.

The Erasmus+ grant is meant to cover living expenses, including rent. However, depending on the country, it may not cover all costs​.
