Erasmus+ student internships

Application requirements

Applicants must at least be in their third semester and prove that a company or some other institution has agreed to take them on as interns within one of the countries listed above.

If the country where the student intends to do an Erasmus+ internship is also the country of origin of the student, then they have to obtain a confirmation from an academic member of the respective department detailing the subject-related relevance and the suitable complementation for their course of study up to that point.
Application process

• Online application on the student’s personal portal (Studierendenportal) / MOBIS
• ‘My applications’ > ‘File a new application’ > Applications related to mobility programmes > Erasmus+ for traineeships
• Enter your personal information, duration of stay and your bank details
• Upload the following documents:
  • Confirmation that you have successfully obtained an internship from the respective company or organisation or the actual contract confirming the same
  • A transcript of the courses you have already completed successfully
  •  Your Curriculum Vitae
  • The ‘Learning Agreement for Traineeship’ (Make sure this document contains all necessary signatures – the International Office is responsible for the formal revision of the Learning Agreement before students have it signed by the programme director “Studienprogrammleitung”)

Please submit your application and all necessary documents online and at least 6 weeks prior to the start of your internship.

Extending your internship

Students may apply for extension of their stay once in any given academic year. The application must be submitted to the International office and must be made at the latest 6 weeks prior to the end of the original stay.

Selection process and nominations

The International Office is responsible for nominating students. Applicants will be informed via email as to the status of their individual nomination. The emails also contain a code that allows the student to register for the Austrian online databank ‘Students Online’. After registration, all other information will be given out directly via email by the OeAD Regional Office/ Erasmus consultant.

After all the data regarding the nomination have been verified, the intern will receive a confirmation.

The student must visit the online databank ‘Students Online’ and download the appropriate agreement. This agreement must be printed and signed twice and submitted in the original to the regional office of the OeAD/ Erasmus office.

Exemption from tuition fees

Students, who receive funding for their Erasmus+ internship, are eligible to be exempted from tuition fees for the duration of their internship. However, the ÖH fee is mandatory for all students and must be paid in full.

After the internship abroad

Each student must submit a certificate of attendance to the OeAD regional office/ Erasmus consultant within four weeks after the internship has been completed.
