GENERAL INFORMATION ON ERASMUS+ STUDENT MOBILITY IN INTERNSHIPS

Objective

Erasmus placements consist of staying in a company or organisation in another participating country for a specific period of time. They are intended to help people adapt to the demands of the labour market in the local community, acquire specific skills and improve their understanding of the economic and social environment of the host country, while gaining work experience and practicing the country’s language. The purpose of the grants is to help cover the additional costs of student mobility arising from the stay abroad (mainly travel and subsistence costs).

Duration

The financial grants have a minimum duration of 2 months, and a maximum of 12 months. However it must be noted that currently only a 3-month maximum period is financed. Any stay may be extended for up to 12 months, but without financial aid (zero grant).

Note: a student may undertake a maximum period of 12 months of mobility, between studies and internships. The stays must take place from 1 July and the student must return no later than 30 September of the year following that in which the stay was granted.

Economic Provision

The amount of the grant is approximately € 350 per month

Additional Grants

Erasmus student grants are compatible with any other national grant or loan. During their mobility period, the student will continue benefitting from those scholarships or loans for educational purposes that they may be able to obtain normally in order to study in their institution of origin. Erasmus mobility grants are complementary to national and/or regional scholarship systems, including those systems that offer compensation for the additional costs of studies undertaken abroad.

Eligible Candidates for Erasmus+ Internship Scholarships

ESCRBCC students who are enrolled in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th courses can apply for an Erasmus internship scholarship.

2nd and 3rd and 4th year students: may apply for internships from June to September. Students will be able to do undertake internships during the year following their graduation, provided that the request has been made while they are still enrolled at the college.

Stay Requirements

Stays must be undertaken in companies, training centres, research centres or organisations in European Union countries that offer internships adapted to the professional profile of those students participating.

The basic characteristics of the practices are:

• The higher education institution of origin must grant its full recognition with respect to the internship period abroad.
• The student must receive a training agreement related to the internship programme period.This agreement must be approved by the higher education institution of origin, the host organization and the beneficiary.Further Information

General information on Erasmus+ internships is available at the SEPIE (more information here).
