On this page, you will find information on how to apply for Erasmus+ traineeships. Note that Erasmus+ traineeship grant applications need to be submitted at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the internship.

 

1. Find an internship

You are responsible for finding an eligible traineeship/internship/work placement.

Contact your home department for tips and guidance regarding internship and career opportunities. You may also look at:

2. Fill in a Learning Agreement and get it approved

Once you have been offered a traineeship/internship/work placement meeting the criteria and you fulfil the programme requirements, you should contact an exchange coordinator at your department for an assessment. If the internship can be approved  to be acceptable and relevant for your studies, all three parties (you, the department and receiving organization/enterprise) have to agree on the Learning agreement – before the mobility- to be completed and signed.

Once completed and signed, the Learning Agreement for Traineeship should be uploaded in the online-application form.

 

3. Grant application

Once the internship/traineeship has been approved by the department, you meet all the requirements for Erasmus+ traineeships and you have a signed Learning agreement you can apply for the Erasmus+ grant. Email to erasmusutbyte@su.se to get access to the online-application form. 

Students who participate in an Erasmus+ mobility that lasts longer than 13 days must take a mandatory language test in the main language of instructions before the mobility begins. There is also an opportunity to participate in an online language course to improve your language skills before and during the stay abroad.

Note that the application form needs to be submitted at least 6 weeks before the start of the internship. Scholarships will not be granted for traineeships that have already started. 

You can apply for the traineeship grant between August 1 and 31 May. During summer vacation we do not accept or handle Erasmus+ traineeship applications. During the holiday season (December/January) processing time may be slightly longer. Apply in good time if you would like to apply for an Erasmus+ traineeship with intended start in July/August/September or January/February.

If your application has been successful you will receive information about the mandatory steps to be completed before the start of the traineeship:
