Degree project abroad

There are different ways of doing your degree project abroad. If you find a subject and a supervisor yourself, you can do your degree project as an Erasmus+ or Nordplus exchange, provided you fulfil the other applicable conditions. The project must be linked to one of SLU’s partner universities, and can be done in conjunction with taking courses at that university. You apply during the same period as for applications for exchange studies.

Another way to do your degree project abroad is via an Erasmus+ grant for internship. This option can help finance field work, data collection, or research for your degree project (Bachelor's/Master's) anywhere within EU (except Sweden). 

An Erasmus+ grant for internship allows you to do your degree project as part of a research project at another university, or as part of an internship or work at a company or other organisation.

NB. Either way, you will need a supervisor from SLU as well as a local supervisor on site - which you must arrange yourself. You will only need to present your project  SLU once it is completed, and you must be registered on a degree project course here at SLU.

You can also choose to do your degree project at an ELLS university and receive financial support through an Erasmus+ scholarship.

Scholarship for field work

It is also possible to do field work for your degree project in a low- or middle-income country with financial support from SLU through Erasmus+ (funded by the European Commission) or Minor Field Studies (MFS, funded by Sida). Read more on SLU Global's web.
