GENERAL RULES

The receiving institution must be located abroad, in a country participating in the Erasmus+ program, which include: 28 European Union Member States; Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway; Turkey, North Macedonia.

Mobilities are possible from the first year of first-cycle studies (undergraduate, engineering). Graduate traineeship are also possible - during the first year of graduation from KBU studies, with the indication that the qualification for these traineeship must take place during the studies (in the last year).

The traineeship program is agreed before the student's departure. The approval is made by 3 parties: the student, the receiving institution and the KBU.

The minimum duration of the traineeship abroad under the Erasmus program is 2 full months, where 1 month is 30 days. A scholarship trip in the Erasmus program requires practice - full-time work.

The student's traineeship stay at the receiving institution must begin and end between June 1 and September 30.

The traineeship may be compulsory or additional (optional) from the point of view of the educational program, but it should always guarantee the student the opportunity to acquire competences related to his field of study at KBU and his personal development needs.

Students qualified for a mobility under the Erasmus+ program receive a scholarship from the program to cover part of the costs of travel and stay in another country. The amount of the scholarship changes every year and is determined in accordance with the program rules set out by the European Commission and the National Program Agency.

The scholarship is settled by delivering to the International Office, after the end of the traineeship, documents issued by the employer confirming the period of the traineeship and the implementation of the traineeship program. To settle the scholarship, it is also necessary to complete the on-line report and the OLS test.

Before leaving, each student is obliged to insure themselves against the consequences of accidents (NNW), civil liability (OC) and obtain appropriate health insurance (medical costs) for the full duration of the trip and stay abroad.
