- Within the Erasmus program, it is possible to do an internship within the scope of Student Internship mobility. You may generally prefer an internship in Europe for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months. For detailed information, please check the Erasmus office website. If the summer internships completed within the scope of this program are made for a short term (3 months), it can only be counted as one of IE300 and IE400 internship.
