ERASMUS+ also funds internships for students in a host institution in another European country (EU institutions or institutions that administer EU programs as well as diplomatic representations of the students' countries of origin are excluded).

Students can gain work experience in an international environment.
In addition, they can expand their key qualifications such as communication and cooperation skills, openness and knowledge of other cultures and markets.

Students can receive funding for a compulsory internship or a voluntary internship of between two and twelve months.

Graduates can also receive funding for an Erasmus+ internship in another European country: This offer is valid within one year of completing a study phase (Bachelor's, Master's) and for a duration of 2 to 12 months. The prerequisite for funding is an application during the final year of the respective study phase. The funding is counted towards the quota of Erasmus+ months for the respective study phase. Graduates can be funded by Erasmus+ if they are exmatriculated during the internship and the internship is completed within 12 months of their graduation.
