Erasmus+ TRAINEESHIP

As part of the Erasmus+ programme, regular students at the mdw have the opportunity to complete an internship with a company in Europe. These internships offer valuable experience for gaining international professional practice, improving language skills, and expanding your personal network.

You can find an internship portal within the framework of IN.TUNE here.

APPLICATION

 

  1. If you are interested, please contact the responsible contact person at the mdw International Office. Depending on budget availability, you may apply for funding for an internship placement via Mobility Online.

  2. Eight weeks before the start of the internship, please register in Mobility Online and upload the internship acceptance letter as well as the confirmation that the internship is relevant to your studies.

  3. After an internal review, you will receive either an acceptance or a rejection from the International Office. (Please note: For traineeships with self-employed persons, official proof of the employer’s self-employed or entrepreneurial activity is required, for example a confirmation from the tax authority or a comparable official registration.)

  4. Before, during, and after the mobility, several workflow steps in Mobility Online must be completed (e.g. for preparing the Learning Agreement and uploading final documents such as the Confirmation of Stay, Participant Report, etc.). The Mobility Online workflow will guide you step by step through the mobility process.
