Outgoing Erasmus+ traineeship

Instructions for use.

What is it?

Erasmus+ for traineeship purposes is an opportunity for students and graduates to undertake a period of traineeship at universities, public or private enterprises, and training or research centers, in one of the mobility program's participating states. The Erasmus+ traineeship provides a grant to successful students and graduates to help them make the most of the experience.

 

To participate

You can enroll in the program if:

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

 

 

How long

Your Erasmus can last from 2 to 12 months.

 

Have you been on Erasmus before?

 

As a UniGe student, you have the opportunity to carry out one or more Erasmus+ mobilities.

The period comprehensive reserved for mobility is different depending on the course of study you are enrolled in:

  • Cycle I - Bachelor's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)
  • cycle II - bachelor's/master's degree, master's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)
  • single-cycle master's degree: maximum 24 months (720 days)
  • cycle III - PhD, postgraduate course, 2nd level master's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)

Before applying, you should therefore check that the remaining period still available to you for further Erasmus+ mobility is at least 60 days.

For example, if in the same bachelor's degree program you have already done one Erasmus mobility for the purpose of study for 5 months and one for the purpose of internship for 5 months (for a total of 10 months), you will be able to apply and do a maximum period of 2 months abroad, regardless of the duration of the grant provided by the announcement.
