Internship Abroad

• enrolled at one of the schools of the SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences
• Confirmation of an internship for at least 2 months
• have not yet received financial support during the current studies via Erasmus+ for 12 months

Since the new program generation (2021-2027), financial support via Erasmus+ can be applied for not only within Europe (program countries), but also for countries outside Europe (partner countries). However, the budget available for funding outside Europe in partner countries is much lower than that for program countries. Therefore, the International Office has decided to support internships abroad in partner countries only if funding is still available. In general, internships abroad in partner countries are not funded by SRH Berlin through Erasmus+.

Financial support for an internship abroad within a program country is not subject to any specific selection criteria, but is usually approved. In this pdf document "Eligible Countries & Funding Rates for Erasmus+ Internships Abroad" you will find all information about the necessary application documents and the funding rates for the individual program countries.

Once you have been accepted for an internship and have signed an internship contract, you can apply for Erasmus+ funding. To do so, please send a copy of the internship contract or a confirmation email from the internship institution, a current enrollment certificate and the completed and signed part of  "Before the mobility" des Learning Agreements for Traineeships via email to the International Office. We will then contact you directly and send you all the necessary application documents.

Before the start of the internship abroad, the following documents must be completed and signed between you and SRH in any case:

• Grant Agreement signed in the original (contract on grant duration and amount, rights and obligations for grantees)
• Learning Agreement (digital) - Agreement on the goals of the internship, which are coordinated with the program director in advance.
• Eligibility verification and prior participation
• Verification of insurance coverage
• safety instructions for Covid-19, if applicable
• Completion of the OLS language test

As soon as the documents are complete, we can order the transfer of the 1st rate of the Erasmus+ scholarship (70% of the total amount). The process usually takes about 14 days. If you are unsure, please contact the International Office and ask whether the order for payment has already been made.

If there are significant changes in the tasks at the beginning or during your internship abroad or if you change the internship institution again, you must also discuss these with your program director and have them confirmed in your Learning Agreement. This will ensure that your work abroad is recognized.

If you have to cancel your internship and it is foreseeable that you will not be able to achieve enough ECTS in your internship abroad, please contact your program director immediately and discuss the options you have in order to still be able to complete the remaining academic achievements.
