The ERASMUS+ internship program is aimed at students and graduates who would like to complete an internship in Erasmus program countries and partner countries
Please note: The program offers financial support, but does not arrange internships. You must therefore find an internship yourself.
Coordination & Contact
KOOR - Erasmus Services BW coordinates the Erasmus internships abroad for KIT, i.e. the application for an Erasmus internship is submitted to KOOR. Details on the application process can be found on the linked website above.
Key data for the application:
- The application period is divided into 2 phases per academic year (see table above)
- All required documents must be submitted to KOOR Erasmus Services BW at least 2 weeks before the start of the internship , regardless of the destination country (a shorter application deadline of one week applies for internships in educational institutions)
- The completed and signed application form from KOOR must be sent to erasmus-out∂intl.kit.edu together with your current KIT study certificate for signature.
- Upon completion of the internship, participants will receive a learning agreement concluded between them, the university and the internship site, which guarantees the recognition of the work completed abroad (e.g. ECTS or entry in the Diploma Supplement or an equivalent document).
- Graduates must apply before the end of their studies in order to participate in the program
KOOR offers a weekly online consultation hour on Tuesdays between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Students interested in an Erasmus+ stay as well as students who are already in the application process can contact the KOOR team directly.
On the first Tuesday of every month, a former Erasmus+ scholarship holder will talk to for around 10 to 15 minutes during the online consultation hour about their experiences as an Erasmus+ scholarship holder abroad.
