Erasmus in Globally is generally called “Erasmus Student Exchange Mobility” comes to mind, but also an Erasmus “Erasmus Internship Mobility” is available. Erasmus Internship is an opportunity where you can do an internship abroad and receive grants during your internship.
Erasmus Internship
Who has been studying in one of the private or state universities in Turkey or Erasmus+ countries (except for distance learning) is a program where students can achieve education abroad or an internship in Europe.
With Erasmus Internship, you can do an internship from 3 months to 12 months in a company operating in a country within the scope of the program in Europe and you can receive a grant (non-refundable) from the Ministry of European Union for this internship through your university.
Universities’ Erasmus Internship quotas are not filled in many universities. In other words, most of the students who have applied so far have been accepted to the Erasmus Internship program.

When this is the case and there is no one to direct the students in the universities, the number of students who went to Erasmus Internship was low and the number of students who requested it was also low.

When you overcome all of the official processes regarding your internship placement, you have a very long problem list that includes topics such as “the place where you will stay in the country where you will be doing your internship, the orientation about the city and the region you will go to, things you should pay attention to, what you should do or absolutely do not do”
