Erasmus+ Grant for Internship & Thesis with a Non-EU Destination

• You have to be registered as a student at Wageningen University during your internship or thesis abroad.
• The internship or thesis should be acknowledged as an official part of your WU study programme.
• The internship or thesis needs to be confirmed by signing an internship or thesis agreement with your WU supervisor and the receiving institution.
• You will need to work full time (35-40 hours per week) on your internship/thesis.
• The minimum duration for your stay abroad is 2 months (60 days, travel days are not included).
• You can apply for the Erasmus+ grant multiple times within one study cycle (BSc or MSc, for study exchange and for your internship/thesis abroad), up to a maximum duration of 12 months (360 days). However, you can apply for a non-EU grant only once per study cycle.
• Your destination country cannot be your home country (first or second nationality applies).
• During your internship or thesis, you will live in the country where the internship or thesis research takes place.
• Internships or thesis research at an EU institution and other bodies related to the EU are excluded. This applies to the EU institutions as mentioned in the list on the EU website.
• Funds will be allocated first to students who have not yet received an Erasmus+ grant in the past, and on a first come, first served basis.
• Students who receive financial support from the receiving organisation might receive a lower grant or have a lower priority in receiving a grant. The grant applications will be individually assessed.
• You will not use the Erasmus+ grant for expenses that are already covered by another scholarship from the EU.
• You will not apply for other EU scholarships during your stay abroad.
• The allocation of grants is subject to the availability of funds.

Note that there are no Erasmus+ grants available for activities that are not part of a WU BSc or MSc programme, such as internships after graduation and voluntary internships.
