Duration of the funding

Internships of usually two to three months are arranged, in some cases longer. The length of the internship is decided by the internship provider.

Value

Interns are usually paid 934 euros a month; all IAESTE interns (incoming) are covered by the DAAD's medical, accident and personal liability insurance. The DAAD cannot contribute towards travel expenses.

Selection

Applications must be submitted to the IAESTE committee in the country in which the students are enrolled. The responsible national IAESTE committee carries out a selection procedure on a national level and nominates the most qualified applicants. The internship provider decides which applicants to accept.
