Academic CentreErasmus+ mobility for traineeships provide students with an opportunity to participate in traineeship in foreign companies or institutions in an Erasmus+ programme country and receive a scholarship. The aim of Erasmus+ traineeship is to help students meet the demands of the labour market of the European Union, to provide an opportunity to develop the students’ skills (including language skills) and improve the understanding of social and economic culture of the particular country within the context of gaining work experience, as well as to promote the development of highly qualified, open and internationally experienced future professionals.
Erasmus+ traineeship is available for all level students (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral), who are registered for studies at the UL and are not in an academic leave. The students whose the UL study programme stipulates traineeship are prioritised. The UL does not offer this opportunity to recent graduates.
Doctoral students may participate in Erasmus+ traineeship provided that its objective is the preparation of the thesis and related research.
Erasmus+ traineeship can be undertaken in foreign companies, training or research centres, as well as other organisations, except for EU institutions and bodies, organisations that administer EU programmes, and diplomatic authorities representing the students’ country of origin (embassies).
The minimum duration of a traineeship period is 2- 4 months. Students have an opportunity to experience up to 12 months long Erasmus+ study and/or traineeship mobility within one study cycle.
