Erasmus+ Curricular Traineeships

Erasmus+ Curricular Traineeships enable students from UIC Barcelona to gain practical work experience, with academic recognition, in another country in Europe.

From 2 to 12 months, depending on your area of study. Ask the academic coordinator at your faculty or the International Relations Service for more details.

Yes. The amount of the grant will be set according to the destination country, with a monthly payment ranging from 400 to 500 euros. An additional allowance of up to 250 euros per month may also be awarded to participants with fewer opportunities .(Ministry grant holders, people with a recognised disability of 33% or above, etc.).

The total number of funded months will depend on budget availability.

A single travel allowance will be added to the monthly amounts, calculated according to the distance travelled and the mode of transport (green or non-green).

Students are advised to attend the mobility information session corresponding to their degree, read the latest mobility call, and consult the Moodle virtual campus for detailed information.

Consult the Required procedures section and the International Relations Moodle page for further information.

It has been proven that students who participate in international mobility programmes are more and better prepared to face the current and future global world. Adecco, Primer Empleo, Universia.es, El Mundo and Finanzas.es, among others, highlight the importance of international experience for comprehensive personal and professional development. Check out the advantages of international mobility.

Its main advantages are:

• Recognition by UIC Barcelona of the ECTS credits taken in the target university or company
• Grants
• Free online language courses and the ability to assess your language progress (OLS)
• Administrative benefits (mobility agreements and student insurance, among others)

How can I find a company in which to do my traineeship?

• Contact the Coordinator for Work Placement at your Faculty.
