Erasmus traineeship
Within the Erasmus programme, students can receive a grant for participating in a traineeship at a company, organisation or university in Europe. Students may also use the grant to finance data collection for an independent project (e.g. Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis/degree project or doctoral thesis). You apply for the Erasmus traineeship grant when you have found a traineeship. In the grant manual you can find advice and recommendations on how and where to find a traineeship position.

Information to trainees intending to do a traineeship in the UK
The United Kingdom left the EU between 31 January and 1 February 2020. Uppsala University has funding for Erasmus traineeships finishing 31 May 2023 or earlier. Outgoing trainees to the UK should therefore apply for an Erasmus grant.
Students carrying out an Erasmus+ traineeship in the UK must apply for a visa. It is the sending organisation which applies for a so called sponsorship by the British Council for the trainee, a “Certificate of Sponsorship” needs to be attached to the visa application. It can take up to four weeks to get the application approved, why its recommended to plan the application in time. For more information see the Erasmus webbpage. If you plan in doing an Erasmus traineeship in the UK it is important that you contact us and applies in time (at least two months before planned start date). Contact us via the zoom drop in and/or by erasmus@uu.se
