Project Work / Research internship

Project work courses can in some cases be offered to exchange students at the master level. Students will work together together with a research group in our ongoing research project. Admission are based on the availability of supervisors and of the projects relevance to ongoing research as well as the students’ previous experience. If you are interested in doing a project work course, contact the International Office at internationalstudent@hb.se

Please note that the processing time for project work courses are longer and we therefor need your application well in advance of nomination deadlines (15 of April for the Autumn semester and 15 of October for the Spring semester).

If you have any questions, please contact the International Office at internationalstudent@hb.se.
