Erasmus+ Incoming Traineeships

Traineesip duration: minimum 60 days

One of important criteria: active student status at your home university during your mobility period

Application deadlines:

• Autumn semester (01 September – 31 January): 1–20 May
• Spring semester (01 February – 31 August): 1–20 October

The first thing to know is that you can join us at Semmelweis University once your home university has nominated you. After the nomination is confirmed, you can move on to the application process.

What opportunities do we offer?

😷Medicine: Only 5th and 6th year students or PhD candidates. After-graduation traineeships are not possible.

🦷Dentistry: Only 4th students (very limited capacity). After-graduation traineeships are not possible.

💊Pharmacy: Only 4th and 5th year students or PhD candidates. After-graduation traineeships are not possible.

🤗Health Sciences (Nutrition, Dietetics, Nursing, Midwifery, Physiotherapy): All years of study – excluding summer internships (between June 1st and August 31st)

Who approves the application?

The application is always approved by the relevant Faculty, not by the Mobility Office.

Once the application form has been submitted, we will let the student know whether their placement has been approved. Until you receive our final confirmation, please do not consider the mobility confirmed. We cannot issue a Letter of Acceptance until the Faculty has approved the application.

Where can you submit your application?

Application form📝: https://forms.gle/BKsfD2byriwFNVxM9

Final confirmation regarding acceptance: at least 5–6 weeks (please submit your application accordingly). 

Important!
We only accept applications submitted via the online form. All fields in the application form must be completed, and a completed draft of the Learning Agreement for Traineeships must also be attached. This allows the clinic to see what kind of professional activities the student would like to undertake during the traineeship.
If the form is incomplete or not filled in properly, the application will be considered invalid. In such cases, the Mobility Office will not send a separate notification.
It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that all application requirements are met and that the form is completed correctly. We kindly ask all applicants to follow and respect the University’s application rules and procedures.
