The ERASMUS+ program for internship provides financial assistance to students doing an internship in participating European countries. The scholarship is available to students and graduates who have already found an interniship/placement at an institution or organization abroad.
Graduated students have to apply before the end of their study in order to receive the scholarship. The placement can also start after the end of the study.
Please be aware: the program provides financial grants but does not offer internship places. You should look for a placement on your own. Some internship offers are published on our website (Placements in Europe). Besides, tips to find interships are available in the section Internship Search of this website.
Applications are possible at any time. Please be aware to submit all required documents to KOOR at least 1 month (for internships outside Europe and in the UK) or one month (for ERASMUS countries) in advance of the internship start date.
The scholarship recipients will receive a learning agreement signed by the university, the scholarship holder and the company. It guarantees the recognition of experiences earned abroad (e.g. ECTS or entry into the Diploma Supplement).
Coordination and application contact
The application form of KOOR has to be signed by International Students Office after you filled and signed it yourself. In order to do so, we need your updated KIT enrollment certificate. Please, send it together with KOOR application form to erasmus-out∂intl.kit.edu
