Internships

Build your skills and network abroad.

Local internships give students the opportunity to learn new skills and experience Swedish professional culture firsthand. We offer several excellent internship opportunities every semester and occasionally offer additional internships when available.

Internship requests are submitted after registration. You may apply for up to three internships, ranked in order of your preference. Students will be placed in a maximum of one internship. You will upload your resume and a brief statement of interest explaining your relevant experience and why you are interested in the internship. Your application materials are forwarded directly to the internship provider for their review, and some require an in-person interview upon arrival in Stockholm.

Internships are unpaid and not for credit. Placements are limited and selected based on merit, academic background, and work experience. Students are informed of internship placements in late June (fall term) or December (spring term).
