Application process

1. Internal application

Students who wish to apply for an ERASMUS+ traineeship funding should submit a 1-page motivation statement to mpm@meduniwien.ac.at, explaining:

  • why they want to join a particular lab
  • why they deserve to be funded
  • what they will gain from the internship and how it relates to their future career ambitions.

They should also attach the confirmation of acceptance for an internship/Master thesis by the destination lab.

This will be evaluated by the Curriculum Directors and Module Coordinators along with:

  • evidence of continued attendance of lectures and seminars
  • track record of engagement with lecturers (e.g asking good questions)
  • strong examination/course performance
  • evidence of additional internships/extracurricular activities that are geared towards a future career in biomedicine.

Requests may be submitted at any time, but please note that recommended scholarships will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis.

 

2. Application to the International Office

Selected students must apply to the International Office by completing the online application form in Mobility-Online and submitting the required supporting documents six weeks prior to the start of their traineeship:

ERASMUS+ Grant

The Erasmus+ mobility grant is a contribution to your travel and subsistence costs, with the amount of funding determined according to the group of countries. Applicable rates can be found here.

The Erasmus+ mobility grant can be received in addition to any salary to be paid for the traineeship and in addition to federal aid for students (“Studienbeihilfe”).

The Erasmus+ grant is paid after the signing of a grant agreement between the student and MedUni Vienna in two instalments: 70% at the start of the stay and 30% after the stay.
