Internships in Europe (Erasmus+ programme)

For the 2021-2022 academic year, the United Kingdom is still part of the Erasmus programme+. You can thus complete an internship in the UK and benefit from an Erasmus+ scholarship.

1. European Healthcare Card (Carte Européenne d’assurance maladie - CEAM)
   - The CEAM card is compulsory for your healthcare costs to be handled in Europe.
   - The CEAM card is FREE. It is personal and nominative.
   - You must ask for the card with your health insurance company at least 20 days before your departure. To ask for your CEAM card, go to your personal Ameli.fr space
2. You must take out public liability insurance valid throughout your stay abroad 
   - Public liability insurance is the minimum guaranty included in all insurance policies. In case of an incident (caused voluntarily or involuntarily), the victim of the incident will receive compensation. Without insurance, in case of an incident, you may have to pay high compensation fees.
   - All students travelling abroad within the framework of their studies must take out public liability insurance that is valid throughout their stay abroad.
   - Contact your insurance company before your departure.

 You must have both the CEAM card and public liability insurance before your departure to ensure you are covered abroad and to apply for financial support.

OLS or Online Linguistic Support is a platform provided by the European Commission to help participants of the Erasmus + programme to prepare their mobility and reinforce their mastery of foreign languages. The OLS test is required by the Erasmus + agency before any mobility! It will enable the agency to evaluate your level in the language of your host country before your departure and upon your return.

Not only does the platform enable you to evaluate your level but you can follow language courses in all European languages. This functionality is entirely free and can help you reinforce your language skills before your departure.
