1.You are actively looking for information about the institution / company you would like to apply to. The best source of internships offered are offers posted on our website or on online platforms where employers submit their offers. An example of such a platform is Erasmusintern.org.
2. During the recruitment announced by BNiOP, you prepare an internship application, obtain the signatures of the Dean and the Erasmus + Program Coordinator and deliver it to the Erasmus + Program Coordinator in your Unit within the prescribed period.
3. The Erasmus + Office recruits and calculates the available funds.
4. You are waiting for an e-mail from the Erasmus + Office regarding the recruitment results, which will include all the details regarding the implementation of the mobility.
5. At least one month before the planned departure, you prepare the necessary documents:
- You draw up (with the help of the Program Coordinator) the Learning Agreement before the mobility, you get all the necessary signatures – yours, the Program Coordinator, the Dean, the Erasmus + Office, the host institution.
The internship can be carried out in three different forms.
When completing the Learning Agreement, you will have to choose which option applies to you:
a) Internship is an integral part of the education program (compulsory to obtain a qualification (diploma))
b) The internship is not compulsory for the field of study (volountary internship);
c) Internship for graduates (the graduate internship must be completed within 12 months after the defense, which means that it must end on the day before the anniversary of your defense).
7. You are starting the visa procedure needed in the country of your stay (if you need a visa). For the purposes of obtaining a visa, the Erasmus + Office will issue you with a document confirming that you have been recruited for a trip under the Erasmus + program and that you will receive a grant for your stay.
8. You provide the Erasmus + Office with a copy of the health, accident and civil liability insurance applicable in your country of mobility for the entire period of your mobility.
You also provide us with a statement on the form of payment of the scholarship (statements with the account number entered without appropriate breaks will not be accepted), a statement on the coverage of additional costs, a statement on the completion of the previous semester and a statement on previous trips.
It will also be necessary to submit a consent to leave to the Rector of the UO at the Application Office.
- If, during the mobility under the Erasmus + Program, you will be a student of the year during which you will be writing a final thesis (bachelor’s, engineering, master’s), before signing the contract, you will have to provide the office with the consent of your promoter for the mobility (in the form of e-mail or paper).
If you do the internship during the academic year (not during the summer holidays), it will be necessary to obtain and deliver to the Erasmus + Office a copy of the IOS (Dean’s consent for the Individual Organization of Studies).
10. If you receive a social grant, you have the right to apply for a grant higher by 250 euro. To obtain the right to travel with an increased scholarship, you will need a copy of your current decision on granting a social grant or a copy of your disability certificate.
11. You sign the financial agreement with the University of Opole – about 2 weeks before departure. You deliver to the Erasmus + Office all the necessary documents listed above.
Signing the contract is a condition for going to an internship under the Erasmus + Program and receiving a scholarship. It is best to confirm the time and day of arrival to sign the contract by phone – thanks to this, your case will be handled more efficiently and without unnecessary waiting.
- After signing the contract, the Erasmus+ Office will order the payment of your first grant installment. We will also give you a license for language support, i.e. access to the OLS platform where you will be able to learn the language of your mobility.
