Internship Abroad
There are various funding options for an internship abroad. If you would like to do an internship abroad in an Erasmus+ programme country, you can apply for an Erasmus+ traineeship grant (see below). For internships outside of Europe, the PROMOS scholarship programme may be the right choice for you.
Erasmus+ Internship
For internships, blocks abroad or PJ tertials that you would like to complete in one of the Erasmus+ programme countries, you can apply for Erasmus+ funding. The prerequisite is that a relation to your study program is recognizable and that the internship comprises at least 60 days. In the Erasmus calculation, one month corresponds exactly to 30 days, even if the month has 31 days. For this reason, you may need to complete more than 60 actual days for the internship to be eligible. The weekly workload must be at least 30 hours. The maximum duration of funding per study cycle is 12 months for Bachelor's and Master's programs or 24 months for programs with state exams. Previous Erasmus+ stays in the same study cycle will be counted towards your funding quota.
Please send the following documents to international-office@uni-wh.de.
- Application form - template in the download area
- Certificate of enrollment
- Confirmation of the traineeship employer (e.g. E-mail)
- Erasmus+ additional funding, if applicable - Declaration on Honor
Please submit the documents to us at least 60 days before the start of the internship abroad . Applications received later or incomplete may not be considered. Internships in European institutions or organizations, national diplomatic missions, and organizations that administer EU programs are not eligible for funding.
Funding levels vary according to country group and project (see below).
