This document, as in the case of the Learning Agreement for Studies with trips to college, is a kind of trilateral agreement between the student, the home university and the company which accepts the student to an internship. It should be determined in detail with the trainee's supervisor from a foreign company, and then approved by the Departmental Coordinator (Koordynator Wydziałowy) of Erasmus+ program or another person appointed by the Dean (eg. Tutor for compulsory practices). Please fill the document electronically (also the box of choice). We do not accept documents filled out by hand.

Rules of participation and financing internships abroad within Erasmus+ programme in the academic year 2023/2024

• As standard students do the internship during the holiday months. However, the Dean/ Vice Dean of student’s faculty may agree for departure during an academic year. In that case, a student should submit such a written consent together with the other documents required to apply for a scholarship.

• Graduates may do the internship at any time but must finish it within 12 months from the date of his/her BA/MA thesis defence. For graduates, the length of stay abroad counts in a total duration of mobility at this level of studies on which he/she was qualified for the internship.

  E.g. if a master student was abroad within Erasmus or Erasmus+ program during his/her master studies for 7 months and he/she wants to leave after as a graduate, then still has 5 months for realizing an internship.
   

• Period of the internship cannot overlap with the period of his/her studies within Erasmus+.
• We remind you that as a host institution may be also a university where a student could make a practice eg. in a laboratory.
• When the student is going for an internship should have got a ‘student’ or ‘graduate’ status and cannot stay at dean’s leave.
• Graduates can take part in Erasmus+ program only when they apply for an internship being a student of PUT (all the documents have to be submitted to International Relations Office before student’s bachelor/master thesis defence)
• Each qualified person has to learn about the legalization of stay issues and legal employment in the country where he/she is going for an internship, eg. getting a visa, residence permit etc.
• Before leaving each qualified person is obliged to purchase an accident insurance and liability insurance as well as possess an EKUZ Card (European Health Insurance Card)*.
• Each student may complete up to a total 12 months (360 days) abroad on traineeships / or studies within one study cycle
• Due to the small contribution to the development of intercultural aspects in accordance with the recommendations of the National Agency for Academic Exchange and the decision of the Institutional Coordinator of the Erasmus+ Program, the implementation of the internship must take place in the other country  than the country of origin of the student / graduate.
