Erasmus Internship

Students who are enrolled in TalTech can apply for Erasmus+ scholarship for internships (traineeships, work placements, ect).

The internship abroad can last from a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 6 months. Students can participate in the Erasmus+ programme multiple times, either as a student or as an intern, up to 12 months per one level of study (Bachelor/Master/PhD). In order to get funding, internship has to be related to your studies and students must receive ECTS for it afterwards.

Excluded are European Union institutions, bodies and agencies.

*Applications submitted in July might take longer time to be processed.
