Minor Field Studies (MFS)

Minor Field Studies (MFS) is a scholarship program funded by Sida that enables students to conduct field studies in low- or middle-income countries to collect material for their thesis or degree project.

Students receive a travel scholarship of 35,000 SEK and the field study must last for at least 8 weeks (56 days on site in the field).

Erasmus+ Traineeship (Erasmuspraktik)

The Erasmus+ Traineeship program allows students at the University of Gothenburg to undertake internships at companies, organizations, and research/education centers abroad while receiving a stipend through the Erasmus+ program. Students are responsible for finding their own internship placement. The internship does not need to be within the student's specific subject area but must be relevant to their education, as verified by their institution. The stipend does not affect regular student financial aid. The program supports internships lasting between 2 months and 360 days for traditional placements, or 5-30 days when combined with a virtual component. Students must be physically present at the host organization during the internship period. The stipend is intended as a contribution toward costs associated with the internship period, such as travel and accommodation, and varies depending on the destination country and duration of stay.

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ provides students at the University of Gothenburg the opportunity to conduct part of their education at bachelor's, master's, or doctoral level at one of the university's partner universities in Europe, or to apply for scholarships for internships abroad. Most subject-specific exchange placements offered within Europe are within the framework of the Erasmus program. Students nominated for an exchange within Europe typically receive an Erasmus scholarship for their exchange studies. The scholarship is designed to help offset the higher living costs associated with studying abroad in European countries. Students can receive the scholarship multiple times within Erasmus, but the total scholarship period must not exceed 12 months per educational level (bachelor's, master's, or doctoral level), including both studies and internships. Studies within the Erasmus program must be conducted as full-time studies, and students must be registered for courses at the host university corresponding to a full-time study pace. It is the host university's definition of full-time studies that applies, which is usually 30 credits per semester. Students must be registered at the University of Gothenburg at the time of application.
