Internships in Europe: 25+ destinations, Erasmus+ aligned
Internship Abroad places students from 16 countries in verified internships across Europe and beyond. We cover placements in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, Dublin and 20+ more cities, with full Erasmus+ documentation, Learning Agreements, and welfare support included.
International internship placement is broken
Less than half of European graduates ever study or train abroad. The EU set a target of 20% by 2020. The actual rate? 9.4%. Only 4 out of 49 countries reach the benchmark.
Students want to go abroad. The gap is between that intention and actually making it happen: finding verified placements, navigating visa requirements, sourcing insurance, processing documentation, coordinating with universities. The whole process is fragmented, opaque, and risky for all parties.
We built the infrastructure to close that gap. Learn how Erasmus+ traineeship grants of EUR 350 to EUR 700 per month fund most European placements, or read our institutional guide to Erasmus+ 2026 (KA1, KA2, KA3) for international offices.
Why international internships matter
These aren't marketing claims. They're findings from large-scale longitudinal studies by the European Commission, OECD, and independent researchers.
