Funding
Funding period: 2 to 12 months
Minimum duration: Internships can be funded if they last at least two full months. For each full month, 30 days of funding can be provided. The minimum funding period is 60 funding days.
Maximum duration of funding: 12 months
Previous Erasmus+ funding / Combination of Erasmus+ stays
Each student can receive Erasmus+ funding for up to 12 months per study phase (BA / MA / PhD). These 12 months of funding can be used individually for Erasmus+ (i.e. study and/or internship). In single-cycle degree programs (culminating in a state examination), a maximum funding period of up to 24 months is possible.
Examples: 2 x 5 months study abroad + 2 months internship abroad = 12 funding months
3 months of study abroad + 9 months of internship abroad = 12 months of sponsorship
Please note that mobility periods (internship, study) already completed under the LLP-Erasmus+ program will be counted towards the maximum period of 12 months/24 months.
