Traineeships abroad
A traineeship abroad gives you the opportunity to convert your theoretical knowledge into practice, while gaining experience of international working life.
Erasmus+ traineeship
If you are accepted to a placement within the EU (Switzerland excluded, as well as Sweden as you are studying here), it is possible to apply for the Erasmus+ traineeship. As a student at Karolinska Institutet, you can apply for an Erasmus+ Traineeship grant for a degree project or a traineeship at a company, training/research centre or university or another organisation in an EU/EEA/acceding country.

The application deadlines are October 15 and May 15 on the European Parliament’s website.
