How to apply

As part of an inter-university agreement

If you are from a partner university and would like to complete a traineeship (in a hospital or laboratory) as part of the agreement between the two institutes, please follow the application procedure outlined on this page.

For Erasmus+ traineeships, a “learning agreement for traineeship” must first be drawn up and signed by your home university and the host structure.

On an individual basis 

Step 1: Send your application directly to the structure of your choice: laboratories and research units, central administration or departments (see University organization chart).
Prepare a CV and an application letter.
Step 2: If your application is accepted, you will have to draw up a traineeship agreement with your host structure. This is mandatory for your stay at the University of Lille.

If the duration of your internship is more than 2 months, and if your internship takes place in the frame of an internship agreement from the University of Lille, you can claim a remuneration according to the French regulations.
