Doing an internship as part of your University studies means that you integrate knowledge and theory from your education with practical tasks in a professional environment. Of course, this means a very good experience on your CV, but it also has a lot of other and perhaps more important benefits:

  • Get insights about specific industries, companies and organizations
  • Test if a certain career path or industry suits you
  • Develop new skills and improve the knowledge you already have
  • Apply what you’ve learned during your education in a professional environment
  • Acquire skills for future job applications and job interviews
  • Build professional networks within your future field

To be able to get ECTS credits for an internship, you need both an internship and a place on an internship course

2. Find the right internship

LUSEM Career Services co-operates with our partner companies to provide a selection of qualified and pre-approved internships each year, both in Sweden and abroad.

You may also find an internship on your own. This requires some extra work on your behalf since it needs to be approved by the School.
