The Erasmus+ Program
The Erasmus+ program offers specific funding opportunities for internships in other European countries. We explain which target groups the program is aimed at and which funding opportunities are available under Erasmus+.
Die Zielgruppen
The target groups
of the funding program.
The Erasmus+ program, also known as “mobility for students and graduates”, supports young people during their internship abroad and is aimed at the following target groups:
Students
Bachelor's and Master's students at universities can complete an internship abroad during their studies. The internship must last between 2 and 12 months and take place in one of the Erasmus+ program countries. Doctoral students can also receive Erasmus+ funding.
Graduates
Recent graduates: Graduates can also benefit from Erasmus+ funding if they start their internship within a year of completing their studies. This offers a great opportunity to gain international work experience and facilitate entry into the professional world.
Vocational School Students & Trainees
Vocational school students: Students at vocational schools and trainees can also complete a work placement in a European country. Erasmus+ funding helps them to gain practical experience in their own professional field in an international context.
