Application/before your stay
Application documents
You will need the following documents to apply (you will find information on the individual documents below):
Application
To be eligible to apply for an Erasmus+ traineeship you must first find yourself a traineeship position in another European country. The precise dates, the content and the working language must have already been agreed before applying. Please observe the requirements regarding possible receiving institutions. The International Office does not arrange traineeship positions for students.
All applications must be submitted online via the Mobility Online application tool.
Please mind the information regarding Erasmus+ grants for applications for stays starting from 01.10.2022.
If you are applying for a grant as a language assistant, please take note of the Information on traineeships for language assistants. Applications for traineeships for language assistants have the start date 1 October.
Leave of absence and semester of tolerance
Participants must be enrolled as students at the University of Vienna throughout their traineeship. A leave of absence ("Beurlaubung") cannot be granted during an Erasmus+ traineeship. During your visit abroad your study period continues as normal; no additional semester of tolerance will be granted.
Nomination
If the application meets the formal criteria and was submitted within the deadline, the student will be nominated to the Erasmus+ Stipendien team in the International Office, which is responsible for paying the Erasmus+ mobility grant.
After nomination, nominated students receive a confirmation of nomination via e-mail and an e-mail containing information on the further process.
Online Linguistic Support
The Online Linguistic Support (OLS) tool supports language learning for Erasmus+ mobility participants before and during their stay abroad. In OLS you can take a language assessment (compulsory) and a language course (optional).
Insurance
Students must have adequate health, accident and liability insurance throughout the duration of their Erasmus+ traineeship.
