Mobility internships

Through the Erasmus+ programme, students have the opportunity to undertake internships at various types of foreign organisations, including businesses, research institutions, non-profit organisations, and other entities such as government agencies, museums, libraries, and hospitals.

Internship opportunities

Basic principles:

  • You can undertake an internship at a university or institution located and registered in an EU country or a programme-associated country (Liechtenstein, Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Turkey).
  • Internships cannot be conducted at EU institutions, bodies managing EU programmes, or Polish diplomatic missions abroad. The list of EU institutions where internships are prohibited includes:
    • European Parliament
    • European Council
    • Council of the European Union
    • Presidency of the Council of the EU
    • European Commission
    • Court of Justice of the European Union
    • European Central Bank
    • European Court of Auditors
    • European Economic and Social Committee
    • European Investment Bank
    • European Data Protection Supervisor
    • European Data Protection Board
  • The internship must be relevant to your field of study.
  • Applications for internships must be submitted through your faculty.
  • Graduates may apply during their final year of study, and the mobility period counts towards the 12-month “mobility capital” allocated for each study cycle.

As part of the Erasmus + programme, students and doctoral students are eligible to participate

  1. long-term physical mobility for internship - from 2 to 12 months;
  2. short-term mixed mobility for internship (combination of physical mobility with a mandatory virtual component) - from 5 to 30 days;
  3. short-term mobility for doctoral students for internship - from 5 to 30 days.

Each Participant qualified for mobility (student, doctoral student and, in the case of internship, also a "recent graduate "*) will receive the following funding from the University:

in relation to A

GROUP 1 – Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden,  Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia – internship: EUR 820;

The participants of all types of mobility will additionally receive a lump sum for travel costs. The amount of the lump sum depends on the distance the participant has to travel from the place of departure to the place of mobility. The place of commencement of travel is the address of the University's headquarters. The amount of the lump sum for travel costs will be increased if the "green travel" requirements are met.
