Erasmus + Internship Program

The selection will be carried out in a competitive bidding regime, in accordance with the evaluation criteria of the following applications:

• Average mark of the file that the student has open at the time of making his application. This average grade is calculated on a scale of 0 to 10.
• Accreditation of knowledge of the working language at the host company will be assessed. Only official certificates will be accepted in accordance with the AGAUR table (Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants) for the MOBINT call, including the UPF language proficiency certification test (PCCL): up to 0,5 points

In the event of a tie, preference will be given to the student with the most credits passed.

Internships must last minimum of 2 months and maximum of 12 months, if you have no previous mobility.

If you have already done another Erasmus mobility (either for studies or internships), the total sum of all stays cannot exceed 12 months at the same level of studies (degree, master's or doctorate).

For example, if you are doing a second degree and in the previous degree you did a 9-month Erasmus mobility, in the new degree you will only be able to do an 3-month Erasmus stay (either for studies or internships). On the other hand, if you start a master's degree, your "Erasmus counter" will be back to 0, no matter how much you have exhausted the 12 months during the degree.

Students benefiting from mobility places who meet all the requirements will be able to receive a grant from the EU, as a contribution to their travel and accommodation expenses during the internship period abroad.

This amount will depend on the host country, and will be calculated according to the following table:

• Group 1 (€460 / month): Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
• Group 2 (€410 / month): Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands and Portugal.
• Group 3 (€360 / month): Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia, Slovenia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Northern Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Serbia and Turkey.

Students who have enjoyed a general MECD scholarship during the year prior to mobility will have their grant increased by € 150 / month.

Internships will be funded for a maximum of 3 months, which may be extended up to a maximum of 12 months in the event of not exhausting the full amount awarded by SEPIE.
