Study abroad for students attending the Master's programme in Biostatistics and Data Science

Internships during the summer

This means that you organize an internship wherever you want in the world.

To obtain an Erasmus+ scholarship you need to be abroad at least 60 consecutive days and travel to one of the European Union's countries. On this page you can find out which are the European Union's country members.

Before you make any final arrangements with your supervisor abroad, you need to receive confirmation from your programme director at KI. Only when you have received his approval you can then secure the internship abroad and make any travel arrangements.
