For Institutions

University Departments play a huge role in IAESTE by both promoting the programme to their students and offering placements to foreign trainees. Through the IAESTE exchange programme students may secure paid course-related training abroad, usually for periods of up to 12 weeks in the summer months.

Work experience gained abroad has the added value of enhancing students' independence and flexibility, communication and foreign language skills, and contributes to their personal and academic development.

Due to the reciprocal nature of the programme, for every student sent abroad an equivalent placement has to be arranged for a foreign trainee. As well as providing hand-picked highly motivated trainees, IAESTE placements are a stepping stone to recruiting PhD candidates from abroad.

For further information please contact IAESTE in your own country. If there is no IAESTE office in your country please contact the General Secretary .
