Problems, difficulties and hardships:

Sometimes getting settled in a foreign country is harder than expected. Experiencing a "culture shock" is not an unusual phenomenon, but luckily, these feelings are usually only temporary.

If you have any problems or doubts while abroad, please feel free to contact RUB's International Office.
Together we can certainly find a solution.

In cases of hardship, RUB's Psychological study counseling offers individual counseling and can provide helpful information sources.

After your Erasmus funded internship abroad

To receive the second instalment of the Erasmus grant amounting to 20 % of the total grant, no later than 30 days after the end of your internship:

  • Submit the Learning agreement after the mobility (page 3) to the International Office showing the actual duration of the internship
  • Submit the internship certificate
  • Complete the online EU Survey (an invitation will be sent to you by email)
  • Submit your final experience report. If you would like to make your experience available to other students, please also send us an anonymised form and we will make your experience report available on our homepage.
  • If applicable, have the internship abroad recognised by your department or faculty and submit the proof of recognition
