Graduate Traineeship
Interational mobility within a year after your graduation.
Would you like to start your professional career with an internship abroad with financial support?
You can go on a graduate internship within one year of completing your studies, but you must apply before you finish your studies!
We offer graduate internships lasting 2-3 months.
We handle the administration in cooperation with the non-governmental non-profit organization EDUCA International, o.p.s.
- Europe (outside regions 13 and 14) any university or institution applying science and research.
- Regions 13 and 14 (Faroe Islands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City), here only outside higher education institutions.
Please note: You cannot travel to your country of origin! For example, Slovak citizens cannot participate in Erasmus in Slovakia.
- Bachelor's/Master's/Doctoral student
- All forms of study
- There are no restrictions on your citizenship
- At the time of application, you must be a student of an accredited study program at the UCT Prague
- At the time of departure, you must have successfully completed your studies
- You have not exceeded 12 months of Erasmus+ grant funding (including planned mobility) in the current study cycle.
There are no limits to your imagination! For your internship, you can choose from a wide range of universities, laboratories, companies, non-profit organizations, registered associations, student organizations, research institutes, and any other organizations that have legal status. Just keep in mind the restrictions within the listed countries (see above).
- The University of Chemistry and Technology does not need to have a contract with the selected institution.
Where to look?
You can contact our partner universities or any other university/institution/company in Europe that applies science and research in a field relevant to your studies. For internship offers, follow the current projects and collaborations of your department, ask your supervisor, and follow the news on the ZO website. Organizations from all over Europe share internship offers on various online portals. One additional rule: you cannot go on an internship and receive Erasmus+ support when traveling to European Union institutions (e.g., the European Parliament). We recommend visiting the following websites:
We recommend this as a minimum. However, there is no problem if you want to look around in another field/sector after your studies. The important thing is that the host institution accepts you as an intern. After submitting your application and signing the Learning Agreement, the faculty coordinator and the international office will decide on the approval of the internship.
Payments are made in EUR only, so you must have a EUR account. The amount of the grant varies depending on the destination and length of stay.
The amount of funding is determined by EDUCA International o.p.s. based on the current call for applications. More information is available on the website.
Application
You must apply for a graduate internship before your final exams!!! The application for approval of a graduate internship must be submitted by email to the International Office of the University of Chemistry and Technology. You can send your application at any time during the year, but no later than two weeks before the end of your studies.
It is not necessary to know the destination or date of departure; you can just fill in your personal details. If you fail to find your internship, simply notify us by email. We will cancel your application.
To apply, send an email to outgoing@vscht.cz with the following attachments (documents can be downloaded at the bottom of the page):
- Application form
- Cover letter
- CV
- ....Learning Agreement Before Mobility (only if you already know the destination, dates, and content of the internship)
The International Office will review your application according to the criteria below and, if approved, will sign it within two weeks and send the documents to educaops@educaops.eu (you will be copied).
The student is selected and the application is submitted to EDUCA International if the following conditions are met:
- The student completes the application form correctly and submits it to outgoing@vscht.cz by the required deadline (2 weeks before final exam).
- They have not exceeded 12 months of Erasmus+ grant funding (including planned mobility) in the current study cycle.
- They are applying for long-term mobility.
Conditions for the final traineeship approval
The application is only the first step, which you take while still studying. Your internship will only be definitively approved once you have found a destination, know the departure date and fulfill all steps listed further.
- Once your application has been approved and forwarded, EDUCA International is in touch with you and informs you regarding the necessary documents.
Do you already know where you will be going, know the content of the traneeship and the departure date?
Fill in the Learning Agreement Before Mobility (documents can be downloaded at the bottom of the page).
- The document must be signed by you and the Vice-Dean for International Relations and sent to the International Relations Office for signature (send to outgoing@vscht.cz ). You can obtain the signature of the host institution later.
What is the final step before departure?
You will sign a participation agreement (financial contract) with EDUCA Internazional. They are providing scholarship and therefore will inform you regarding necessary documents before your mobility and after your return.
However, to be prepared, here is an overview of documents you will need for final approval of your internship from the EDUCA International o.p.s. consortium:
- LABM signed by the sending and receiving institutions and EDUCA International
- ERAPO insurance for the entire duration of the trip
