Erasmus Traineeship within the EU

There are four different ways to go on an traineeship with an Erasmus grant:

1. Within the framework of a traineeship course at Uppsala University

You conduct a traineeship at a company, university or an organisation within Europe. Uppsala University will be responsible for the assessment and grading of the course. Your credits will be registered as internship/traineeship, not as a regular study course.

2. Within the framework of a degree project/thesis

You are registered for a degree project/thesis in Ladok that will be assessed in Uppsala (and your credits will be counted towards your thesis/dissertation, not a regular university course), but will conduct your data collection at a university, company or organisation in Europe. Your supervisor at Uppsala University must approve the placement/data collection. During a traineeship, you are not allowed to register for courses at the host university.

3. Outside your regular study programme

You conduct a traineeship outside of your regular study programme, but before graduation from Uppsala University. You cannot receive credits for the traineeship, however you may apply to have the traineeship registered as a note in your Diploma Supplement when you graduate from Uppsala University. A member of your department must be able to confirm the traineeship’s academic relevance.

4. Traineeship after graduation

It is possible to conduct an Erasmus traineeship after graduation, however you must apply for the traineeship grant during your final semester at Uppsala University whilst you are still a student. You cannot receive credits for the traineeship. The entire traineeship must be completed within 12 months of the date on which your final course at Uppsala University is registered as completed. If you are going to participate in the traineeship after graduation, a member of your department must be able to confirm the traineeship’s academic relevance.
