Erasmus+

All 27 EU countries participate in the Erasmus+ programme, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey, North Macedonia and Serbia.

Erasmus+ is open to:

• all DAE Bachelor students, who are selected for the exchange programme (outside The Netherlands and inside Europe, not in your home country). • all DAE Bachelor students, who wish to undertake an internship within the EU (outside The Netherlands and inside Europe, not in your home country) as part of their studies. • All DAE graduates, who wish to undertake an internship within one year after graduation within the EU (outside The Netherlands and inside Europe, not in your home country).

Applications will be reviewed carefully by DAE and only accepted if there is an appropriate level of quality in the content of the submission, a good match between student, institution/company and subject and available space. In case of more applications than budget, the budget is evenly distributed among the approved applications (i.e. the length of the internship/exchange is taken into account).

When you are selected for the exchange programme you are obliged to apply for an Erasmus+ grant when you meet the following conditions/requirement: • The partner institution is outside your home country and country of study • Your exchange period is for a maximum period of one year.

If you want to apply for a Grant from Erasmus+ for internship, you have to meet the following conditions/requirements:

• Internship takes place outside the Netherlands, in Europe and not in your home country • You are not getting a compensation or salary from your internship company • You have to stay for at least 2 months at 1 place • The internship is full-time, so at least 36 hours per week • You have to fill in the “ Learning Agreement form Erasmus” before you go on internship (use DAE form) see Microsoft Teams group Internship. • You have to fill in the “ Grant Agreement form Erasmus” before you go on internship ( use DAE form) • Your traineeship company has to fill in the Traineeship certificate (use DAE Form )

If all forms are filled in correctly, they will be signed and you get the 70 % of the Grant before you go. The other 30 % you will receive when you are back and handed in the Traineeship certificate and filled in the evaluation form.

Deadline 1: 15 December 2023 Deadline 2: 30 June 2024

A traineeship in Europe after graduation is possible through the Erasmus+ programme. Your internship does not have to be directly linked to graduation, but your right to an Erasmus+ grant expires 1 year after graduation. It is therefore advisable to complete your internship within 1 year after graduation if you want to receive a scholarship for the entire internship.

You can apply for an Erasmus+ grant when you meet the following conditions/requirements: • You arranged the internship during your last year of study • You have completed the scholarship application before you graduate • Internship takes place outside the Netherlands, in Europe and not in your home country. • Your internship lasts min. 2 - max. 12 months** • The internship is full-time, so at least 36 hours per week • You will not receive a salary for the internship

** Please note: you can be awarded a maximum of 12 months of Erasmus+ scholarship per study cycle (BA and MA). So if you have already received a scholarship award, you can get a scholarship for the remaining period (i.e. 12 months minus the period, you have already been away).
