Internships in Europe and worldwide with Erasmus+

Erasmus+ provides grants for internships that you find by yourself at businesses, organisations, schools, universities in other EU countries.
(exceptions: EU institutions/EU projects. See our list of all exceptions).

NEW: Erasmus+ internship funding worldwide.

Who?: students enrolled at the University of Konstanz

Where?: all EU countries, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, Turkey and Macedonia (some internships in Switzerland can be funded by the Swiss government).

Erasmus+ funding for internships worldwide: List of partner countries.

Maximum funding duration for Erasmus internships is 4.5 months.

An internship should last 2-12 months. Please note that you have a total of 12 months for your Erasmus+ mobility, during which you can combine study and internship periods as desired, as long as you fulfil the minimum time periods for each.

Graduates can also receive Erasmus+ funding for an internship. The internship must be completed within a year of having finished your degree. Important: You will need to be enrolled when you apply for the internship, but must be exmatriculated before it starts as well as during the entire internship. 

New since 2023: Doctoral students and students with valid reason can apply for Erasmus+ funding for short-term stays abroad within Europe. Length of stay: min. 5, max. 30 days of being in the destination country physically.  A short-term stay has to be combined with a virtual component (=Blended Mobility) of one day minimum. This regulation does not apply for doctoral students.
