General information
Financial support for a self-organized internship in one of the 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Türkiye.
Multiple funded stays abroad of up to 12 months per study cycle (e.g. Bachelor, Master or PhD) are possible. For budgetary reasons, internships starting from January 2023 onwards will be funded up to a maximum of four months. Grants awarded are subject to available funding.
Mobility to the country of origin is not possible if students usually reside and have their center of life in the neighboring country (including cross-border commuters).
Prerequisites & Requirements
Duration: Full time and at least two whole months (60 days)
Physical stay at the location of the receiving organization or company.
Internships can be completed at all organizations that are engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Institutions of the European Union (e.g. EU Commission) and organizations that administer EU programs (see list) are excluded. Information on internships can be found here and at the WU ZBP Career Center.* Bachelor's students must have completed courses amounting to at least 38 ECTS credits (excluding free electives).
You can check whether you meet the application requirements online any time. To do so, please log in with your user name and password.** Master's students only need to be admitted to a master program at WU.
Notes:
* BBE and IBW students can be awarded 8 ECTS credits for their internship, provided they have completed the respective internship seminar / internship class successfully. You can find more information here.
** A CEMS compulsory internship cannot be funded through Erasmus+ because it does not meet the minimum performance required for the grant (3 ECTS per month).
Convention de Stage/Confirmation: If you need a confirmation for your internship abroad in the form of a "Convention de stage" or similar, the colleagues in the Study Information at the Study Service Center will help you. Internships are not mandatory in WU's curricula (except CEMS), which is why an Erasmus+ internship is a voluntary internship.
Financial information
