The University of Gothenburg is part of the Swedish–Japanese network MIRAI, which works to strengthen academic ties between the countries and promote collaboration between academia and industry. The network now offers the opportunity to carry out a traineeship in Japan.
A total of 16 Swedish-affiliated companies and organisations have expressed interest in hosting interns. They are seeking master’s students in engineering, IT, health, life science, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, as well as business and economics.
The University of Gothenburg can nominate three interns.
Valuable experience
The internship gives you work experience in an international context and the chance to develop professional networks. These experiences will be valuable both during your continued studies and in your future career.
Scholarship and conditions
You arrange your own travel and accommodation and will receive an Erasmus scholarship consisting of:
- Subsistence allowance: 700 EUR per month
- Travel grant: 1,735 EUR
The internship starts in August/September 2026 and lasts 20 weeks (approximately 5 months). The application deadline is 20 February 2026.
You can undertake the internship as part of an internship course or as part of a degree project, and receive higher education credits. It is also possible to do a voluntary internship, i.e. outside a course, but in that case you will not receive any credits.
