Erasmus+ Traineeship

Students on degree programmes at the University of Vienna can organise and undertake a traineeship in another European country and they can apply for an Erasmus+ grant for stays with a minimum of 2 months for this.

Provided the traineeship is relevant to their study programme (= a sensible supplement to their studies), students enjoy considerable flexibility in choosing a placement. Recognition of the traineeship in the form of ECTS credits is not a prerequisite.

Applications for the United Kingdom - Update January 2023

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. Legally, the UK is no longer a member of the European Union.

Traineeships up to the winter semester 2022/23 were still financed through the Erasmus+ Programme. After the winter semester 2022/23, Erasmus+ funding is not possible for traineeships in UK.
