Traineeships and field studies abroad
A traineeship or field studies abroad gives you the opportunity to convert your theoretical knowledge into practice, while gaining experience of international working life. There are various programmes that offer scholarships for traineeships, field studies and data collection abroad.
Erasmus+ traineeship
As a student at Karolinska Institutet, you can apply for an Erasmus+ internship scholarship to collect data for your thesis or complete an internship at a company, organisation, or another educational institution in an EU/EEA/partner country as part of your education, between semesters, or after graduation from KI.
Internship at the European Parliament
Young people with a university degree are offered internships to complement the knowledge they have acquired during their studies and to learn more about the work of the EU. A paid internship means you receive a stipend of €1,200 per month, which may be adjusted up or down depending on the cost of living in the country where the internship takes place. The application deadlines are October 15 and May 15 on the European Parliament’s website.
