Internship mobility, 3 months, Malaga, Spain
I am overjoyed to have had the opportunity to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to the LLP ERASMUS Programme Centre Team. I was awarded an internship in Malaga, Spain, with a company that monitors Erasmus students doing their internship there. For me it was an unforgettable experience, I got to know the culture of Spain, I met students from 5 different countries, I learned how to manage and coordinate a group of people, preparing documents for students, official correspondence with other companies.
We had an unforgettable summer, with many memories that cannot be forgotten. I want to thank you so much for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Training mobility, 1 week, Valencia, Spain
The ERASMUS mobility was a very nice period of the academic year 2012-2013 due to the accumulation of valuable personal experiences: socially, by assimilating for a short period of time a young environment, full of energy and eager for knowledge; informationally, by accumulating information, exchanging ideas with academics and business people; culturally, by adopting the specific musical style, the culinary art and last but not least the language; touristically, by visiting fabulous places that combine history with new architecture.
Whether you are a student or a teacher/professor, there is no reason not to want to join the ERASMUS family and benefit from an ERASMUS scholarship.
BOGDANFFY LORAND
Training mobility, 1 week, Malta
There have been very few occasions when I have been able to observe in person how work is done abroad in my field, but in 2013 I was offered this opportunity through the ERASMUS mobility grant for training teaching and support staff. In addition to working for various IT companies (software development, online content, advertising) I also had a significant cultural experience.
The memory of this experience will certainly stay with me for the rest of my life, and I hope to have similar opportunities in the future.
Erasmus is one of the most popular, loved and controversial student experiences. The aim of the university programme is to enable the exchange of students between countries. From the experience of former “erasmus” students translated into testimonials, they would tell us that student life is not complete unless you go through it. What exactly does Erasmus exchange mean? The programme allows you to go and study at another university in a European country for one or two semesters or to improve your knowledge by doing a minimum 2-month internship in a university/firm/institution in an EU country. You receive partial financial support, as the ERASMUS grant is able to partially cover your monthly expenses in your study country.
Why choose to be an Erasmus student?
-
You’ll travel and live temporarily in a foreign country, plus all the benefits and life lessons that come with it.
-
You will have the opportunity to get in touch with an education system different from the one in Romania, specific to each country, which can open up new horizons for you.
-
You will meet interesting people, whether they are other Erasmus students, people of different nationalities, or people from the country where you will go, intercultural exchange being one of the main aims of the programme.
-
You will grow up and learn to manage on your own (including cooking, cleaning, maintaining yourself, figuring out your money and expenses, managing in a different society from home).
-
You will become more adaptable, more flexible, more open-eyed to ideas and opportunities.
-
Culture shock and all the life experiences that come with it, which can open up new horizons and opportunities.
You need to know before you go:
-
The ERASMUS scholarship covers only part of your monthly expenses, and if you want to have as full an experience as possible in the country you are in, you may need an additional income
-
Equalising averages when you return home can take longer than you’d like in some cases.
-
The language barrier can be an inconvenience – if you go to a country and fail to learn part of the language.

Documents required for students to submit the selection file:
- Application form for a study or placement mobility(model-practice, model-study)
- Certificate requested from the faculty secretariat showing that the applicant is a student at UPET and the previous year’s graduation average / UMS academic record
- Letter of intent written in Romanian and addressed to the ERASMUS+ Office.
- Europass format CV with inserted photo, written in Romanian and English.
- Identity card for Romanian citizens
- Passport, identity card and residence permit for foreign citizens
- Personal data processing declaration
Enterprises eligible for placement
“Enterprise” means any establishment engaged in economic activities in the public or private sector regardless of size, legal status or the economic sector in which it operates, including the social economy. It follows implicitly that, in addition to companies, the following can be considered as enterprises: higher education institutions, research centres, family businesses, partnerships and associations regularly involved in economic activities. Economic activity is the determining factor, not legal form.
Duration of student mobility
Students can spend between 3 and 12 months in a study mobility or between 2 and 12 months in a practice mobility (including a period of internship/placement, but not exceeding 12 months). The same student may receive a study or placement abroad grant of up to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle:
-
During the first cycle of study (Bachelor or equivalent)
-
During the second cycle of study (Master or equivalent)
-
During the third cycle of study (PhD level)
Criteria applicable to mobility and institutions
-
Student study mobility is based on inter-institutional agreements between the participating universities, each of which holds an Erasmus University Charter.
-
This condition does not apply between the home institution and the host company in the case of a placement. In certain situations a higher education institution may be the host enterprise for a student placement
-
As part of the placement, the student goes to gain work experience. Accordingly, the rules will be those applicable to the placement, such as the fact that an inter-institutional agreement between the participating institutions is not required and the host institution does not need to have an Erasmus Charter.
-
At least the country of origin or host country must be an EU Member State
-
The home institution will fully recognise the study period spent abroad using ECTS. In the case of a placement which is not part of the student’s study programme, the home institution will ensure recognition at least by recording the period completed in the Diploma Supplement and Europass Mobility.
-
No fees will be charged for registration, examination, laboratory access or facilities offered by the library of the host institution. Small fees may be charged for insurance, student associations, miscellaneous materials (photocopies, laboratory products) under the same conditions as for local students.
BEFORE mobility takes place:
- Selection of students is carried out
- Learning/Training Agreement (Guide to completing Learning, Training) is issued
- Learning/Training Agreement is signed by the 3 parties involved (student, home institution and host institution/enterprise)
- The financial contract is concluded
-
Advance payment of 80% (up to 100%) of the total grant
Other documents required:
- ACT ADITIONAL
- Erasmus+ Student Charter
- STATEMENT
- EUROPASS MOBILITY
- LIST OF DOCUMENTS TO BRING FROM THE SCHOLARSHIP
- Annex_V_STUDENTS_Contract_with_participants_KA103_2019
DURING mobility:
-
In the case of study mobility, studies are carried out on a full-time basis, including bachelor, master and doctoral studies (research activities not specifically part of the programme are not eligible).
-
In the case of placement, the grant is awarded for actual participation in training in a field that can be recognised as part of the student’s programme in the home institution
-
The grant may be awarded for a combined mobility, which involves a period of study and a placement period
-
Changes to the Learning/Training Agreement may occur within the first month of the student’s arrival at the host institution
-
During the first week of the placement, discussions take place with the mentor about the precise tasks that the student will have to perform
-
At the end the host institution/organisation must issue the certificate of participation and the enrolment sheet/training objectives sheet
AFTER returning from mobility:
- The student must submit to the Erasmus+ Office the documents proving the mobility, together with the final narrative report
- If found to be fulfilled, academic recognition will be secured and the remainder of the grant (if applicable) will be paid.
- It is necessary that the students who have carried out mobilities participate in the events organized by the University of Petroșani in order to disseminate information about their experiences and thus make visible the program through which they were awarded the grant.
- It is also advisable for former beneficiaries to join student organisations (such as ESN) or the
www.studenterasmus.eu
through which they can help future beneficiaries
The grant is a contribution to the costs of carrying out the mobility. The grant is calculated per month and paid as a lump sum. The amount of the grant is also determined by the European Commission according to the country of destination

Mobility of teaching, research and non-teaching staff – for training purposes supports the professional development of teaching and non-teaching staff in higher education institutions in the form of training events abroad (excluding conferences) and periods of direct job shadowing/training in a partner higher education institution or other relevant organisation abroad.
Teaching staff mobility for periods of teaching allows teachers from higher education institutions to teach at a partner higher education institution abroad. Staff mobility for teaching purposes can take place in any academic field/discipline.
“Teaching mobility” involves the movement of a teacher from an Erasmus University Charter (EUC) higher education institution or a person from an enterprise to an EUC partner institution for the purpose of teaching.
“Training mobility” involves the movement of an academic or non-academic staff from a higher education institution with an Erasmus University Charter (EUC) to a higher education institution or an enterprise for the purpose of professional training.
