Project Work / Research internship
Project work courses can in some cases be offered to exchange students at master's level. Students will work together together with a research group in one of 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 (April 15 for the Autumn semester and October 15 for the Spring semester).
