Placement mobility programmes
GENERAL INFORMATION
This type of mobility allows AVU students to conduct an internship with a company, research institute, university or NGO from a different EU country. This particular type of mobility does not require a previous agreement to have been signed between the host institution and AVU. Thus, a student is free to identify and to contact whichever institution suits their needs best. The Erasmus+ Placement programme was developed so as to offer maximum freedom in choosing a place for a suitable internship.
The internship`s duration can vary between 2 (at minimum) and 12 months (at maximum). It can also take place whenever most convenient during the academic year, however it cannot start later than the 1st of August (additionally, the student must return by the 30th of September at the latest).
Financing is ensured through Erasmus+ funding. For the 2016-2017 academic year all students who take part in a placement mobility shall benefit from an extra 200 Euros/month. The amount is not further supplemented for those with reduced financial resources.
