Every year, students have an opportunity to get detailed information about the internship and its conditions, as well as to meet with participants offering employment opportunities by attending the Annual conference ISMA Internship & Employment.
Students can participate in Erasmus+ internship mobility several times, but not more than 12 months at each level of study (bachelor's and master's, studies). The minimum duration of internship mobility under the Erasmus+ program is two months.
