• CV written in the EU template downloadable at

https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/documents/curriculum-vitae

• motivation letter written in the work language of the placement abroad
• language certificate  (min. level: B1)

Decision-making procedures:

Applications are assessed and applicants are ranked in priority order by the Erasmus+ Committees of the faculties and the placement coordinators. Faculties pass their decisions to the Erasmus+ Office and the final decision (place of the traineeship, number of months, individual grant support) is made by the central Erasmus+ Assessment Committee. Applicants will be informed about the results by the Erasmus Office.

Amount of Erasmus+ grant by countries:

Financing will be awarded for the period indicated in the letter of acceptance (or for a shorter period up to the 12-month limit if the student has already used the majority of months previously for studies/placements). The extension of the placement is possible depending on the actual budget and the 12-month rule. The Erasmus+ grant does not cover all expenses, students should be prepared for partial self-financing or looking for other sources.

Zero-grant status: if the number of applicants exceeds the limits of the available financial sources, applicants will be ranked in waiting lists, or they can be awarded Erasmus+ status without grant. In such cases, they will be self-financing Erasmus students.

Awarded Erasmus+ grant:

The grant will be awarded for full months, but will be recalculated when the participant makes a Grant Agreement with the university. 

SPECIAL TYPE OF TRAINEESHIP:  RECENT GRADUATE (after graduation)

For graduate international students, the conditions of participation in this type of traineeship are as follows:

• extension of the residence permit in Hungary for the full period of the traineeship abroad
• making health, accident and liability insurance policies valid in foreign countries during the traineeship

No grant agreement is made or no grant is transferred if the above conditions are not fulfilled.

Mode of working: The Erasmus+ grant can only be given for the period actually spent in the host institution.

Consequences of giving false information:

Submitting false data or documents in the application may lead to serious sanctions, even disqualification from the application round.

RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE APPLYING:

Both the application for the Erasmus grant and the arrangements with the host company  require serious  and thorough preparation. Students will face quite a big amount of administrative procedures. Please read and study all available information at the Erasmus homepage and keep permanent contact with the host company. The lack of information will make your preparation very hard.

Selected students will have the following obligations before starting placements abroad:

• making a Learning Agreement signed by the student, the home university and the host company
• making a grant contract with the home university
• compulsory online language test at the OLS portal of the European Commission before the start of the traineeship
• the documents required for the mobility may be downloaded from:
