Organisations active in the fields of education, training and youth receive support from the Erasmus+ Programme to carry out projects promoting different types of mobility.
The Mobility project for higher education students includes the following activities
1. Student mobility for studies: a study period abroad at a partner higher education institution (HEI).
The study period should respond to student degree-related learning and personal development needs.
It must be part of the student’s study programme to complete a degree at a short cycle, first cycle (Bachelor or equivalent), second cycle (Master or equivalent) and third or doctoral cycle.
A study period abroad may also include a traineeship period.
Student mobility can be in any subject area or academic discipline.
2. Student mobility for traineeships (work placement): a work placement abroad in an enterprise or any other relevant workplace.
The traineeships abroad at a workplace should be an integrated part of the student’s study programme and supported during short cycle, first, second, third cycle studies and in the case of mobility within Programme Countries, within a maximum of one year after the student’s graduation.
This also includes the ‘assistantships’ for student teachers.
Wherever possible, the traineeships should be an integrated part of the student’s study programme.
In order to better support students to acquire the skills necessary for their future, a partnership between the Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 programmes has been established.
This partnership will provide and promote further traineeship opportunities for students and recent graduates who wish to acquire digital skills and competences required to perform jobs and thrive in an economy and society which is being continuously digitally transformed. Students and recent graduates from all disciplines are invited to apply for a traineeship in these domains. These traineeships are expected to take place in the EU Member States as well as in Horizon 2020 associated countries.
