• €50 once and two additional travel days

• For those who travel environmentally friendly the whole distance for the outbound as well as the return journey (e.g. by bus, train or carpooling). Upon application, your Erasmus funding period will be extended by a total of two travel days.

• €250 per month

• For those with fewer opportunities:

  • Students with children in need of care who are taken to the place of the internship

  • Students with disabilities

  • Students with chronic illness, if this results in increased financial expenses during the stay abroad (compared to the stay in the sending country)

• Calculated individually based on actual costs

• The following groups are eligible:

  • Students who fall into one of the aforementioned groups (see Top Up Individual Support) and face increased costs due to their time abroad. Additional costs may include, for example, medical examinations, transportation of needed equipment, sign language interpreters, special housing, or the like. Inclusion support is available when additional costs cannot be covered through the Top Up Individual Support.

  • Students who do not fall into the above groups but have to bear increased costs due to the stay abroad (e.g. due to child care in the home country if the child does not travel with them).

  • Appropriate status must be disclosed when applying for an Erasmus+ grant at the latest. Please include a detailed list of anticipated additional costs when applying. Contact us as early as possible to prepare the relevant application in time.

• The federal study grant can be obtained for the duration of the Erasmus+ internship if the student is fully admitted to studies and examinations in Austria. However, there is no entitlement to the federal grant for studies abroad (BAS = Beihilfe für ein Auslandsstudium).

Before you apply, decide what type of internship you will complete:

• Student Internship: You must be enrolled at WU throughout the student internship and take at least one exam after the end of the internship.

• Graduate Internship: The application for a graduate internship must be submited during the time of studies and before the date of the last academic achievement (the submission of the bachelor's or master's thesis counts as an achievement). The internship must then be completed within 12 months of graduation. During the internship, the intern must not be admitted to any degree program (either at WU or at another university).

Step 1: Submission of documents four weeks before the start of the internship

The application documents listed below must be submitted to us collectively by application form at least four weeks before the start of the internship.

• Learning Agreement for Traineeships must be completed and signed by the student and host institution.

• Curriculum vitae

• Letter of motivation (relevance of the internship for the studies, presentation of the motivation for the tasks of the internship, etc.)

• Current transcript of records (only for student internship)

• Current confirmation of studies

Step 2: Signing of the grant agreement

• Your documents will be reviewed. You will be notified about the outcome of your application by e-mail, in which we will send you the signed Learning Agreement and the grant agreement. The grant agreement must be signed and returned to us via email.

• You are responsible for keeping the grant agreement together with the Learning Agreement.

• Students are required to take a language test for the working language before their stay (exception: native speakers). This test is administered by the EU Academy. You will receive further information via email.

• You will receive the first grant installment after the language test has been completed. Native speakers will receive their first installment within the first month of their internship.

• An extension is possible (up to a maximum duration of four months). The corresponding application must be received by the International Office by email at least four weeks before the end of the original period. The extension period must follow immediately and have duration of at least 15 days.

• The "Confirmation of Stay" must be signed by the organization/company during the last week of the stay. This is necessary for the application of the remaining installment.

Payment of the remaining grant installment must be requested here within 30 days after the end of the stay (as per the Grant Agreement).

Before you apply for the payment, make sure that ...

• the EU Survey has been completed (after the end of your internship, you will receive the link to the survey via your WU email address. You must then complete it within 30 days).

• the "Confirmation of Stay" has been received by the IO.

• the "After the mobility" part of the Learning Agreement has been completed and signed by the host institution.
