Financing Options

Students on internships are rarely able to live off the money they are being paid; most internships abroad are not paid at all. Scholarships can provide some of the money you will require for the period of your internship.

Internship all over the Globe (PROMOS)

An internship in other parts of the world (outside of the Erasmus+ area) with a duration of at least six weeks can be financed via a PROMOS scholarship by the DAAD.

Internship in Europe (Erasmus+)

Students and graduates can receive a grant from the Erasmus+ Programme if their internship lasts longer than 60 days and takes place in one of the countries belonging to the EU (as well as Norway, Liechtenstein and North Macedonia).
