Step 1: Contact the faculty/department where you want to do a traineeship
You are responsible for finding your own traineeship position and making the necessary arrangements with the training supervisor at the University of Antwerp.
Please submit a short plan for your traineeship, and send this to the international coordinator so they can help you find a training supervisor.
Note: besides the faculties listed below, you can apply for a traineeship throughout the entire year. There are no nomination and application deadlines. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
Attention: Some faculties have other conditions to apply
- Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences:
check out this page for information about applying for a clinical traineeship. - Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences:
in case of practical training, you need to be nominated and apply before the same deadlines as for the study exchange. If you apply at a later stage, positions might have been filled. In case of an Erasmus internship, a place in the lab can never be guaranteed (also when there is an institutional agreement, under Erasmus Study). Places in a lab depend on availability of space and a promotor who has to be willing to host the student. Your home institution is free to contact a lab and promotor OR may contact nele.devloo@uantwerpen.be, administration officer for internationalisation at the Faculty. - Faculty of Applied Engineering:
students must have a fully signed Training Agreement at least two months before the start of their exchange period. No applications will be processed during the months of July and August. - Faculty of Science (Bio-engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Environmental Sciences):
students must have a fully signed Training Agreement at least two months before the start of their exchange period. No applications will be processed during the months of July and August.
