Erasmus+ traineeship in Europe after graduating

Erasmus+ allows you to do an international traineeship after graduating. This is only possible within the EU.

You can apply for an Erasmus grant under the following conditions:

• You have arranged the traineeship during your final year of study
• You have completed the application for the Erasmus+ grant before you graduate (allow at least one month for this)
• Your traineeship is within the EU
• Your traineeship will last between 2 and 12 months**.
• The traineeship is full-time, i.e. at least 35 hours per week

Furthermore, the regular conditions for Erasmus+ traineeships within Europe apply.

Your traineeship does not have to directly follow up on your graduation, but your right to an Erasmus+ grant will expire one year after graduation. It is therefore advisable to complete your work placement within 1 year of graduating if you would like a grant for the entire traineeship period.

** Please note that you can receive a maximum of 12 months Erasmus+ grant per study cycle (BA, MA, PhD). So if you have already been awarded a grant, you can receive a grant for the remaining period (so 12 months minus the period you have already been abroad).
