What is the Erasmus Internship?
Erasmus+ KA103/KA131 is an EU program intended to promote student and faculty mobility and encourage cross-border cooperation between European universities. Grants are available for exchange programs and also for student internships. Students studying abroad in the 28 EU member countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the FYR of Macedonia, and Turkey are eligible to apply for Erasmus+ grants. Inter-institutional agreements between our university (home institution) and partner university (host institution) are required to studying in abroad as outgoing students with Erasmus program.
The advantage of Erasmus program is possible opportunity to get an Erasmus grant as a contribution to cover expenses (such as accommodation,travel costs etc). Erasmus grants are changing regarding of country groups.
Minimum duration is 2 months , maximum duration is 12 months. The applicants must have not participated in the Erasmus+ & Erasmus+ Worldwide program (study and internship) for more than 10 months in their current cycle (Bachelor/ Masters/PhD).You may receive an Erasmus grant as a contribution to your costs for traineeship. Long-term internship (more than 2 months) does not guarantee that you will receive a grant during that period. In order to benefit lots of students from the Erasmus+ Grant, payments might be calculated and made for 2 months depending on the number of applicant students and available budget.
However, this rule is different for programs such as integrated PhD programs and for programs that two cycles of study are combined such as Medicine. The max. duration of mobility for such programs is 24 months in total.
In case any student has already taken part in Erasmus+ mobility activities during his/her regular period of education, s/he shall not participate in a mobility activity lasting more than 12 months (For instance, if student has already participated in an Erasmus+ learning mobility of 9 months, his/her application to a student mobility expected to last 4 and a half month shall not be approved. However, such students are allowed to attend 3-month traineeship mobility).
IMPORTANT: If a student returns to the home country before the end of the traineeship period and/or before the min. required duration (min. 2 months), then sanctions regarding the Erasmus+ Internship grant will be implemented. If there is a “Force Majeure”**, the student should immediately get in touch with Erasmus Office and Erasmus Office will seek Turkish National Agency’s advice and approval on the matter. If Turkish National Agency approves the situation as “Force Majeure”, then Erasmus Office will inform the student and the student will be able to return home before the end of the mobility period. Student will only receive the grant for valid days of mobility.
If a student returns home without getting in touch with Erasmus Office first, then the mobility will be considered as invalid and the student will be asked to return the initial grant back to Altınbaş University.
**Force Majeure: Family issues, Health problems, Natural disaster, etc.
Host organisations for student placements may be enterprises, companies, training centres, research centres and other organisations that match the definition of enterprise stated in the Erasmus + Programme Guide. It is also possible to carry out a traineeship in a higher education institution located in one of the Programme Countries. However, the programme of the traineeship cannot consist of following courses, as that would be considered a study period and not a traineeship. Master and PhD students who completed their course load and are currently developing their theses should apply to Student Mobility for Studies (Learning Mobility), for studies (with credits) they will carry out working with an advisor, which do not make part of a traineeship. The following types of organisations are not eligible as receiving organisations for student traineeships: EU institutions and EU agencies, organisations managing EU programmes, such as National Agencies.
Host Countries are:
Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Croatia, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Iceland, Cyprus, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece.
How To Find The Placement Databases

Students need to practice professional activities and internship must be carried out as the economic provisions in the relevant sector. For example, working at a company’s R & D department for product development and working at a university’s research center for a company’s project on product development could be considered as internship.

Overview
The number of grantees is determined by the National Agency in accordance with the grant allocated to Altınbaş University for the year.

After you are selected please note that you will be expected to submit documents below to Erasmus Office. Click for see the documents.
- Learning Agreement for Internship: Students have to fill in all the parts of the Learning Agreement electronically. Hand-written Learning Agreement will not be accepted by Erasmus Office. Students are asked to fill in the Learning Agreement and sign it. Students should also get the signature of the host university’s representative, Altınbaş University Departmental Erasmus Coordinator. Electronically filled out and fully signed LA should be submitted to Erasmus Office.
- Letter of acceptance: You are asked to submit the “Letter of Acceptance” when you receive it from the host university/company.
- Insurance Coverage: Students are required to have international insurance coverage for the duration of their mobility and submit the proving paperwork to Erasmus Office . The following coverage is suggested:
- Health insurance coverage: Usually basic coverage is provided by the national health insurance of the participant as well during his/her stay in another EU country through the European Health Insurance Card. However, the coverage of the European Health Insurance Card or private insurance may not be sufficient, especially in the case of repatriation and specific medical intervention. In that case, complimentary private insurance might be useful. It is the responsibility of the sending institution of the student to ensure that the participant is aware of health insurance issues.
- Liability insurance coverage: Covering damages caused by the student at the workplace A liability insurance covers damages caused by the student during his/her stay abroad (independently whether he/she is at work or not). Varying arrangements with respect to liability insurance are in place in different countries engaged in transnational learning mobility for traineeships. Trainees therefore run the risk of not being covered.
- Accident insurance coverage: Related to the student’s tasks covering at least damages caused to the student at the workplace. This insurance covers damages to employees resulting from accidents at work. In many countries employees are covered against such accidents at work. However, the extent to which transnational trainees are covered within the same insurance may vary across the countries engaged in transnational learning mobility programs. If the receiving organization does not provide such a coverage (which cannot be imposed if not made compulsory by the national regulation of the receiving country), the sending institution shall ensure that the student is covered by such an insurance (taken either by the sending institution (on a voluntary basis as part of its quality management) or by the participant herself or himself).
- Our country has insurance agreement with some countries: Please check the list of countries.
- Online Linguistic Support (OLS): Once students complete above-mentioned documents, they will be assigned an online language test via e-mail by Erasmus Office.. This test has to be completed within the timeline provided. If it is not completed on time, sanctions mentioned in the grant agreement will be implemented.
- Grant Agreement: Once the student completes and submits all the documents to Erasmus Office, a draft version of the Grant Agreement is shared with the student by Erasmus Office. The student is obliged to fill in necessary places (i.e. bank account details, etc.), sign each page of the agreement and sign the signatory part of two copies of the agreement. The student is then asked to submit 2 signed copies to Erasmus office.
- Internship Mobility Commitment Letter (English) :Students should sign and submit this document.
During Mobility
Documents to be submitted by student upon arrival at the host university:
Learning Agreement: If the student wants to make a change on the Learning agreement, “During” part of the LA should be filled out electronically. The revised agreement should be signed by the host university’s representative, Departmental Erasmus Coordinator and Altınbaş University Erasmus Institutional Coordinator. This copy should be submitted to the Erasmus Office via e-mail.
After Mobility
Following the completion of the program, student has to take the following steps.
- Certificate of Attendance: Before departure from host institution, student must get signature from the host institution, and submit the Certificate of Participation to Erasmus Office.
- Learning Agreement-After Mobility: Submit “After Mobility” part of LA after getting the required signatures.
- Fill online EU Survey: EU Survey is needed to be filled out online. Erasmus Office will be sending you the link of the survey through the Mobility Tool.
IF YOUR INTERNSHIP WILL BE TRANSFERRED AS AN COMPULSORY INTERNSHIP:
• You are advised to get in touch with your faculty before you start your internship in order to register for an internship course at Altınbaş University before your departure. Please inform Erasmus Office if your internship is accepted as “compulsory” by your faculty before starting your internship abroad.
IF YOUR INTERNSHIP WILL BE A VOLUNTARY INTERNSHIP:
• According to the rules of Erasmus+ Program, your mobility must be recognized by Altınbaş University even though it is not a compulsory internship. For that reason, once you finish your internship abroad, Erasmus Office will inform the Student’s Affairs Office about the successful completion of your internship. Student’s Affairs Office will then take actions to state your Erasmus+ Internship in your Diploma Supplement. Please also check-in with the Student’s Affairs Office 2-3 months after your return.
- To cancel your application, you need to submit the cancellation petition to Erasmus Office, by sending their petition in an e-mail to erasmus@altinbas.edu.tr You can find the template here
It should be noted that students, who cancel their exchange after the “notice period” provided by Erasmus Office right after the announcement of placement results, would lose -10 points if they apply for Erasmus+ Program again in the future.
If you would like to extend your Erasmus+ stay, you will need to email a request to erasmus@altinbas.edu.tr as soon as possible. Your mobility can be extended by an additional months as long as your Learning Agreement is amended accordingly and your host company as well as your departmental coordinator in Altınbaş support the extension. As long as funds are available, you can also extend your funding period. Therefore you have to hand in a fully filled and signed application for extension along with a Learning Agreement listing the plan. Extending your stay is, however, limited to your twelve-month Erasmus+ study cycle contingent (study and internship).
You can combine your studies with an internship during your stay abroad. The total period of your study and internship abroad can be up to 12 months.
