International placements

Maybe you would like to undertake a work placement abroad to enhance your profile with professional experience in an international environment. If so, there are many placement options available at companies, organizations and educational institutions across the world.

Undergraduate or postgraduate at the University? Looking for a placement of between 2 and 12 months? Want to go to an organization based in an Erasmus+ partner country? Then this is your opportunity!

With a placement through Erasmus+, you will receive a grant (for up to a maximum of three months) while gaining professional experience in an international company or institution.

To take part, contact the company or organization you wish to undertake the placement with directly. If you're not sure how to go about this, the mobility coordinator for your programme can help you. You can also send queries to [email protected] and we will be happy to help you.
