Practice/internships for newcomers to Sweden (with Refugee Background)
University West offers internships for newcomers to Sweden in areas such as engineering, health science, IT and administration.
If you are interested in a internship at University West the first step is to create a CV/cover letter (a résumé) which includes:
- Name, date of birth and a short description of yourself
- Previous merits and qualification: work experience, education or equivalent. Be as precise as possible regarding information about your educational level, for example upper secondary, bachelor, master or doctoral level. We need this to be able to match you against potential internships.
The next step is to apply for a internship:
- If you have a residence permit: Contact your official at Arbetsförmedlingen or at Folkuniversitetet (“Korta Vägen”) and explain that you are interested in an internship at the University West. Ask the official to contact HR for more information about available internships.
- If you have applied for, but not yet received a residence permit: Send your CV to HR.
The internship program is a collaboration between Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Work Agency), Folkuniversitetet (“Korta vägen”) and Migrationsverket (The Swedish Migration Agency).
