What is it? 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. To participate 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 You can also participate if you are a recent UniGe graduate, but in this case you must have applied before graduating and you must carry out the mobility within 12 months of graduation. How long Your Erasmus can last between 2 and 12 months. Have you already been on Erasmus? Yes As a UniGe student, you have the opportunity to undertake one or more Erasmus+ mobilities. The period comprehensive reserved for mobility is different depending on the study cycle in which you are enrolled: Cycle I - Bachelor degree: maximum 12 months (360 days) cycle II - bachelor's/master's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days) single-cycle master's degree: maximum 24 months (720 days) cycle III - research doctorate, specialisation 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.
