Outgoing Erasmus+ traineeship

Erasmus+ traineeship is an opportunity for students and graduates to carry out a traineeship at universities, public or private companies and training or research centres, in one of the mobility programme countries. The Erasmus+ traineeship provides a grant to successful students and graduates to help them make the most of the experience.

You can register for the programme if:

• you are regularly enrolled at UniGe
• you are enrolled in single educational activities aimed at admission to Master's degree courses (so-called bridging career)
• you meet the admission prerequisites established by the foreign institution and by the individual UniGe teaching facilities at the time of application
