How to apply
Am I eligible to apply for an IAESTE traineeship?
To apply for an IAESTE traineeship you should fulfil the following criteria:
- You must be a full-time student in Higher Education.
- IAESTE must be represented in the country in which you are studying your degree course. Please check the Country list.
- Please note that each country has its own set of application criteria that must be met. Please contact IAESTE in your home country for details.
- Your subject studied must be within the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture or Applied Arts. Please check the Disciplines section.
How do I apply?
- You must apply through IAESTE in your home country.
- Each IAESTE country has its own application deadlines but they are normally within the IAESTE Exchange calendar.
- Please note that you will only be able to apply for specific traineeships which your country has available. You will generally not be able to specify your preferred destination or Employer.
- Please do not send CVs to either IAESTE International or to your National Office unless you are asked to do so.
Participation in the IAESTE exchange is open to bona fide students attending courses at Universities, Institutes of Technology and similar Institutions of Higher Education in the Study fields IAESTE covers.
The IAESTE programme is not open to those who are about to start their University or College studies, nor is it available to those who have left University. Exceptions can be made for fresh graduates doing their practical training immediately after final examinations. Post-doctorate trainees will normally not be accepted. Students who are interested in an IAESTE placement abroad must apply through IAESTE in their home country.
As IAESTE A.s.b.l. is a confederation of National Offices which have a bilateral exchange of offers it is only a Member or Co-operating Institution that can provide a placement.
Therefore please do not send any requests to the International body of IAESTE!
