The current application documents (University of Hannover)

In some countries (e.g. France), you may be asked to draw up an internship agreement between the university, the internship provider and yourself or have it signed by the university.

Please note that no internship contracts can be co-signed by the University of Oldenburg. The conditions of your internship will be agreed and contractually regulated between you and the internship provider. The university cannot assume any obligations here. 

The University of Oldenburg will only sign the Erasmus+ Learning Agreement as an agreement between you, the internship provider and the home university.

  • Individual blended (short-term) mobilities are intended for students who „are unable to participate in a long-term physical mobility activity due to personal, family, health or study-related circumstances”
