Intercultural competences, professionalism and communication are key competences in health care. Therefore, the health university of applied sciences tyrol not only creates structural conditions for their students to go abroad but also encourages them to gain international experiences. Especially in the bachelor's degree programmes, where practical courses are an integrative part of the study programmes.
Erasmus+ internship
In the course of the practical training in the respective bachelor's or master's degree programmes, you have the opportunity to apply for an Erasmus+ funded traineeship abroad. In addition to the financial support, the Erasmus+ stay will be recognised as a compulsory practical course in the form of ECTS and registered in the Diploma Supplement.

Requirements
An Erasmus+ traineeship abroad must last at least 60 days. The funded traineeship must be accomplished at one host institution only (e.g. clinic/hospital, research/medical centre, company or institution from the public or private sector) and is defined as a full-time traineeship.
Mobility to country of origin
Mobility to the country of origin is possible; however, stays in the country where students usually reside are excluded. Students who live in a neighbouring country and only come to Austria for study purposes (cross-border commuters) cannot be funded for an Erasmus+ stay in the country of residence.
When can I go on an Erasmus+ placement abroad?
During the longer practical training periods in the respective bachelor's or master's degree programmes.
An Erasmus+ traineeship for recent graduates can be accomplished after graduation (within 12 months). You will receive financial support, but a postgraduate practical training will not be recognised as academic credit. Please note that the application must be submitted before your last examination.
How do I find a suitable internship abroad?
You organize your internship in the country of your choice independently and in accordance with your respective degree programme.
Application for an Erasmus+ fund
Students of the health university of applied sciences tyrol find all the information on the application process on the German version of this website and the E-Learning platform Moodle.
How much money will I receive for my Erasmus+ fund?
You will receive - depending on the country of your exchange/internship - a monthly individual support. Your total grant is calculated to the day and is used to cover increased living costs. You can find the support grant (depending on the receiving country) and details here.
Erasmus+ online linguistic support
The programme offers student language learning support. This support will mainly be offered via the Erasmus+ Online Language Support (OLS) platform, adapted as necessary to individual sectors, as e-learning offers advantages for language learning in terms of access and flexibility.

Information on insurance
The Erasmus+ programme does not automatically provide insurance cover, thus, for your Erasmus+ stay abroad, you will have to proof of a minimum of health, liability and accident insurance cover.
Health insurance
The European Health Insurance Card is on the reverse of your e-card and entitles you to medically necessary services within the public health system during a temporary stay in the EU countries. However, it is not an alternative to travel insurance. Thus, it is advisable to take care of an additional insurance cover (travel and/or accident insurance during free time, repatriation insurance, etc.). It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient insurance cover.
Accident and liability insurance
As a member of the Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH) and as a student of the health university of applied sciences tyrol, you are automatically covered by a liability and accident insurance, provided that the ÖH fee has been paid.
ATTENTION:
Does not apply in connection with cases of damage during free time and postgraduate internships. For overseas internships, additional insurance is recommended.
