Erasmus+ Student Traineeship Mobility is an Erasmus+ activity that enables students to gain professional experience related to their academic field of study by undertaking internships abroad at a company, research institute, laboratory, higher education institution, or other suitable institution\/organization. The internship must be related to the student's field of study, professional development, and the competencies they are expected to acquire. Under Erasmus+ rules, long-term traineeship mobility can generally last between 2 and 12 months; however, the duration and project opportunities for which funding will be provided may be more limited as announced by the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide is designed to help you understand the fundamental stages of the process, from applying and finding an internship placement to pre-mobility documentation and post-mobility recognition and closing procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Internship mobility is when a student enrolled at Sivas Cumhuriyet University gains professional practice and work experience for a specific period at a suitable institution or organization abroad, related to their academic field of study. Simply attending classes at the higher education institution is not considered internship mobility. The essential element of an internship is the student's participation in professional activities within a predetermined work program and the achievement of learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Internships can be part of a student's mandatory internship program, or, in cases where a mandatory internship is not included in the curriculum, they can be an optional activity supporting the student's academic and professional development. If the internship is part of the student's curriculum, it is essential that it is appropriately recognized academically; if it is not part of the curriculum, it is essential that the activity is documented using the relevant recognition tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rules specified in Sivas Cumhuriyet University's relevant Erasmus+ announcement also apply. Within the scope of our university, internship mobility must be carried out while the student is still enrolled and completed before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traineeship mobility can take place in various types of institutions and organizations, provided it is compatible with the student's academic field and planned traineeship program. These may include businesses, research centers, laboratories, public or private sector organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other suitable work environments. Erasmus+ also supports higher education students in undertaking traineeships in suitable work environments abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also possible for the internship to be carried out at a higher education institution. However, in this case, the activity must be a real internship or work program, not a coursework program. If the internship is to be carried out at a higher education institution in a country associated with the Programme, the host institution must have a valid ECHE (Educational Charter for Higher Education). In internship mobility, unlike study mobility, inter-institutional agreements between the sending and receiving higher education institutions are not mandatory for countries associated with the Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application requirements are detailed in the Erasmus+ application announcement published for each application period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, the student:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Higher education student mobility is open to students enrolled in formal higher education programs; the final application and selection criteria are determined in the relevant announcement of the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For exact conditions, always refer to the most current Erasmus+ announcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In internship mobility, unlike study mobility, it is not always necessary for the student to choose from a specific list of partner universities. Therefore, researching internship placements is an important part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before applying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing an internship location, you should consider not only the country or city, the relationship of the job to your academic field and the professional benefits it will provide you<\/strong> should be taken as a basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, it is the student's responsibility to research internship placements and contact a suitable institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students can contact institutions abroad directly; they can submit their resumes, short motivation letters, and desired internship dates to the relevant institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Internship opportunities may be announced periodically by the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator; however, finding internship placements or assigning students to institutions is not the responsibility of the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is usually helpful to clearly state the following information during the initial contact with the internship organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, the document showing that the institution where you want to do your internship has accepted you as an Erasmus+ intern between specific dates is required. Acceptance Letter<\/strong>, Traineeship Acceptance Letter<\/strong> or it may be organized under similar names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If possible, include the following in the document:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Turkish National Agency Handbook lists the acceptance letter from the host institution among the documents that must be included in the student mobility file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether an acceptance letter is mandatory during the application process, or any specific evaluation criteria for candidates submitting an acceptance letter, will be specified separately in the relevant Erasmus+ announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Applications are submitted through the system and within the dates specified in the Erasmus+ application announcement published for the relevant period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The documents required for application may vary depending on the application period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the application is complete:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It must be ensured that it is accurate and up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply registering your application in the system may not be sufficient. All application steps specified in the announcement must be completed within the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Applications for traineeship mobility are evaluated according to the assessment criteria previously outlined in the relevant Erasmus+ announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the evaluation results, the candidates are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be announced in different situations, such as these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the results announcement, the student with or without grant<\/strong> Further information regarding its placement can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the results are announced, the announcement text, the results statements, any waiver period, and the actions required of the student should be carefully followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being selected for mobility does not mean that all mobility procedures have been completed.<\/strong> The student must also complete all necessary pre-mobility procedures, including eligibility verification, documentation, insurance, and contracts, related to the internship institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For students who have been selected for and confirmed their participation in the Erasmus+ traineeship mobility program, the mobility preparation process begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The general process is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the internship placement is not finalized at the time of application, the student must find a suitable host institution and complete the acceptance process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The suitability of the chosen institution and internship to the student's academic field of study is evaluated by the relevant academic department. The Turkish National Agency Handbook also recognizes the student's registered department as the authority responsible for evaluating the suitability of the internship institution and its content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, receiving an acceptance letter alone does not mean that the internship is academically suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning Agreement for Traineeships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Learning Agreement for Traineeships is the fundamental Erasmus+ document that defines the content of the internship and the responsibilities of the parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this document, in general:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is located there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the internship activity begins, the necessary approvals must be completed by the student, the sending institution, and the receiving institution. The 2026 Turkish National Agency Handbook mandates that the Learning Agreement for Traineeship document be signed by all parties before the activity begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This should not be confused with the OLA process in course mobility. The current National Agency practice for preparing and signing internship agreements is determined separately for each period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The form of academic recognition for internships differs from mobility. before<\/strong> It needs to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the internship is to replace a mandatory or elective internship within the student's curriculum, the relevant academic unit will determine how this activity will be recognized. Internships carried out within the curriculum are expected to be fully recognized, preferably using ECTS credits. For internships not part of the curriculum, the mobility must be documented with appropriate documents such as a Diploma Supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, it is important to clarify the recognition process with your department before starting your mobility program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A current acceptance letter showing the mobility dates and acceptance status must be obtained from the internship institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the dates in the document:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important that the dates in other mobility documents, such as those mentioned above, are consistent with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Receiving acceptance from an internship institution does not mean that the Erasmus+ process is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, before mobility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students participating in Erasmus+ mobility programs are required to have mandatory insurance depending on the type of activity. Which types of insurance are mandatory should be checked in accordance with the student grant agreement and the university's current information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the document and procedure list may not be the same for every student, please follow the Coordinator's updates regarding your personal file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the mobility begins, an Erasmus+ student mobility grant agreement is drawn up between the student and the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The grant agreement includes the student's planned activity duration, applicable grant conditions, payment information, and the rights and obligations of both the student and the University. The grant agreement must be completed before the mobility period begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Erasmus+ mobility grant is not a salary or wage that guarantees to cover all expenses that may arise during the internship. The grant amount and duration are determined according to the principles in the relevant project and application announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon arrival at the internship institution, the student must follow the study program specified in the Learning Agreement for Traineeships document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially during mobility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the student's responsibility to follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the event of any significant changes to the internship program, dates, or work content, these changes should not be implemented solely on the student's initiative; the host institution, the relevant academic unit, and the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator must be informed, and the necessary approval processes must be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any problems arise at the institution where the internship is taking place, if the internship activity deviates significantly from the planned content, or if any situation arises that could affect the continuation of the mobility, the matter must be reported to the relevant parties without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staj hareketlili\u011fi belirli bir ev sahibi kurum ve \u00f6nceden onaylanm\u0131\u015f bir \u00e7al\u0131\u015fma program\u0131 \u00fczerinden y\u00fcr\u00fct\u00fcl\u00fcr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bu nedenle \u00f6\u011frencinin kendi karar\u0131yla staj kurumunu de\u011fi\u015ftirmesi uygun de\u011fildir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staj tamamland\u0131ktan sonra hareketlilik kapan\u0131\u015f ve akademik tan\u0131nma i\u015flemleri ger\u00e7ekle\u015ftirilir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00d6\u011frencinin d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fte temin etmesi veya tamamlamas\u0131 gereken belgeler duruma g\u00f6re \u015funlar\u0131 i\u00e7erebilir:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Belgelerin belirtilen s\u00fcreler i\u00e7erisinde Erasmus+ Kurum Koordinat\u00f6rl\u00fc\u011f\u00fcne teslim edilmesi gerekir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Erasmus+ staj hareketlili\u011finin temel ilkelerinden biri faaliyetin uygun \u015fekilde tan\u0131nmas\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staj m\u00fcfredat kapsam\u0131nda ger\u00e7ekle\u015ftiriliyorsa, hareketlilik \u00f6ncesinde kararla\u015ft\u0131r\u0131lan esaslar do\u011frultusunda \u00f6\u011frencinin program\u0131nda tan\u0131n\u0131r.
