A Guide to Internships Abroad in Sweden
Best Cities
Welcome to the land that brought you the almighty powerhouses known as H&M, IKEA, Spotify, and even ABBA! The Kingdom of Sweden is made up of 200,000+ islands and is located in Northern Europe alongside Norway and Finland. Modern Sweden has one of the highest living standards in the world along with one of the longest life expectancies amongst its citizens. Interning in Sweden may just give you a few extra years on this planet (aka more time to go abroad)!
Stockholm. Known as the “Venice of the North”, Stockholm is a city built around water with 12 islands and 42 bridges. Reigning as Sweden’s capital, this city is known for its breathtaking natural scenery, royal artitecture, and Swedish pop—with a dash of hipster culture . Also nicknamed as the well-earned “Capital of Scandinavia,” Stockholm is equipped with trendy clubs, ethnic diversity, and a wholesome lifestyle that encourages city bike systems and healthy meals. Norrmalm and Kista are the districts in Stockholm where innovation and an urban lifestyle thrive, making them ideal for internships. Walking through this dynamic cityscape, you may even notice the refreshing effects of paternity leave as men dominate the sidewalks with their babies and take-out coffee (#Ca-yute)!
Gothenburg. Also referred to as “little London” by the locals, Sweden’s second-largest city boasts Michelin-star restaurants, buzzing cafe culture, fresh seafood, and serves as the birthplace of Volvo. Gothenburg’s enviable portfolio of scuzzy beer dens and under the radar hangouts are partly due to the central university located in town. The cities toy-town charm and abundant number of parks allows visitors to escape the hectic tourist crowds in Stockholm at a lower cost. Its flourishing contemporary arts scene and heavy metal industry will be perfect for interns looking to gain experience in the arts and construction. Or maybe you’re just looking for an excuse to eat a cinnamon bun bigger than your face? That’s acceptable too!
Popular Fields
Ever wanted to intern as a Viking? Well, you may be a millennium too late… However, Sweden still offers multiple internships that will make your resume as sweet as lingonberries! Nothing as cool as forging axes—but helping discover the next scientific breakthrough still sounds pretty great!
Technology. Where in the world would we be (quite literally) without the Global Position System (GPS). Or how would 187/195 countries measure their temperature without the Celsius Scale? We have to thank the Swedes for revolutionizing many initiatives that have become critical in today's age. Internships in Sweden can vary from automotive and transportation to sustainable green technology movements. Sweden produces about 40 percent of its own power, which has resulted in billion dollar revenues and countless job opportunities. Major companies like General Electric and Volvo are waiting for driven interns like yourself!
Communications. Let’s talk communications and thank L.M Ericsson for making the telephone handset a reality back in the late 1800’s. His work contributed to major innovation in telecommunications and caused the company Ericsson to become a forefront in communications technology. Communication internships in Sweden will allow you to learn more about the country’s knowledge-based economy, which emphasizes human resources. Marketing communication interns are also wanted for Swedish-retailers H&M and IKEA. Whichever you choose, don’t forget to Skype your grandma with the good news! Did we mention a Swede co-founded that too? Yupp.
Anticipated Costs
If Sweden’s high standard of living has your wallet coughing up dust bunnies, fear not! Most internships or traineeships in Sweden are paid. Interns will receive a salary to cover their cost of living—especially if the internship takes place via a placement programme for higher education. Students could be entitled to a living allowance that covers food, accommodation, and travel. Food can be expensive with street options starting at $3 and restaurant meals averaging $20. It’s best to grocery shop each week—and cut down on meat and cheese—to save even further! Buying a metrocard will be the best mode of transportation as they include busses, trams, subways, and boats. Prices vary for each region so be sure to inquire! Check out FundMyTravel and our killer scholarship directory for ideas on promoting your internship in Sweden! Who knows, that Skype call you had with grandma earlier may just result into some extra pocket change.
Accommodation & Visas
Most often, the organizations that handle training/internship placements will help interns find accommodation and even arrange it for them. Interns or trainees can also search for rental flats on the open market, but student housing is the more affordable option. Monthly rent will vary depending on location, size, and type. However, the average student accommodation can range from $400-$800 per room.
Residence permit regulations for internships vary based on your country of citizenship and internship programme. Most Non-EU citizens will have to show proof of a paid employment offer prior to their arrival in Sweden. Interns will need to apply for a work permit or a residence permit (for stays over three months). Most of the time, your organization will help you arrange the visa details, but it’s always ideal to double check with them first. For more info about visas, visit GoAbroad’s embassy directory!
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
While winters can be long and dark, there are still many moments to celebrate all year long! Midsummer’s Eve is one of the important days of the year—even rivaling christmas— that ignites festive spirit, traditions, and feasting (smörgåsbord FTW)! There will be a plethora of options to explore on your days off. Rooted in Viking traditions, Sweden’s ruins will make life seem like a walk through history, but with a modern twist.
Your internship in Sweden will equate to a higher quality of living and experience. With strong egalitarian views, the overarching principle in Sweden is that everyone, regardless of gender, has the right to work and support themselves, while balancing their career and family life. This ideal is what continuously ranks Sweden as one of the most equal places to live and what will contribute to your overall experience as an intern. Choose your program and go be THAT dancing queen (or king) that ABBA would be proud of.

Too sweet
August 25, 2026by: Felipe Arroyo Cerna - EcuadorMy experience in Stockholm is hard to define in just one word, although I think I did a pretty good job with the title earlier. I can start precisely with how sweet the whole community was, and not just referring to the program environment, off course they were amazing. When I went, I was aware that I was going to face a lot of challenges, even more when I was thinking that I couldn't even imagine many of those challenges at that moment. It was exciting in a limited sense. Something I'm really grateful to this whole adventure for, is giving me the opportunity to prove to myself how agile, quick, and relaxed I can be when facing new places, people, and moments.
Trying Pickled Herring.
July 31, 2026by: Sophie Pan - United StatesPickled Herring. I had it at Midsommar in VasaParken as one of my PC's gave it to me. I thought it tasted really weird at first but turns out it is ok to put on bread as well. Pros Mueseums (Vasa, Viking , Skansen) Experience a new culture and perspective FIKA Culture is Amazing. You will get used to plenty of pastries and coffee during breaks. Cons Stockholm is a Very Expensive City (one of the most in Europe). Many costs such as Dining Out can be very costly, as this is an unpaid intersnhip. Highly reccomended for students to budget wisely and use cheaper options such as ICA (grcoery store chain. Transportation Delays on the T Bahn some days but this was not notified of me by my PC's ahead of time. Housing was fine, as I had a clean room but we did not have a dishwasher and coffee machine. The laundry machines was ok but one of our dryers was broken and they didn't fix it for weeks.
Absolute Internship was such a great experience!
July 23, 2026by: Anna Norton - United KingdomAbsolute Internship was such a great experience, I cannot recommend it enough! I spent 4 weeks in Stockholm, Sweden in June 2026 and wish I had stayed longer! The programme was so well organised with orientation, making me feel really comfortable in the country before I started work. They sorted everything from accommodation to metro cards and the programme coordinators were available 24/7 over text whenever you had a question. I loved my time in Sweden so much and I wish I could go back!
A clean and easy experience

Loved Stockholm!
July 10, 2026by: Merry Griffin - United StatesStockholm is a beautiful place to spend the summer, and I've experienced a multitude of personal and professional development, both in and out of the workplace. I've been able to hone in on what I really want to pursue as a career, grow those skills, and meet the most amazing people while I'm at it! The program coordinators were so wonderful and supportive throughout the entire journey, my boss was incredibly welcoming, and the other students in the program created some of the strongest friendships I've ever experienced.
Rotterdam Trip
June 05, 2026by: Derek Huminsky - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
Trip was great, would definitely recommend other people to travel to Rotterdam. Both our country coordinators were great. They were responsive and showed us around the city. I liked our housing situation too, as it was in a great part of the city.
Rotterdam internship
June 04, 2026by: Charles Busby - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had such an amazing time doing an internship in Rotterdam for three weeks this summer! Going abroad was an amazing experience and getting to experience it with the help of two amazing guides from WeFind group made it so special!
Rotterdam 2026
June 03, 2026by: Maya Harvey - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
My time in rotterdam was truly amazing. I got to explore so many different cities surrounding rotterdam, as well as take the full beauty of rotterdam itself. We find group was amazing and provided two students that lived in the area that we were staying, and they showed us around and immediately welcomed us into the city. The relationships we formed with the students was truly amazing and they will forever now be our friends. Carlota was amazing through we find group. She was always very prompt with her responses and was always supporting us throughout the process. She went above and beyond to provide us materials to enhance our project delivery.



I had the best time!!
May 31, 2026by: Ruby Manthe - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
My trip to Rotterdam is one I will never forget!! I was placed at an amazing company where I learned a lot and had great experiences. My time outside of work was amazing, I had the best in-country coordinators that made sure we were always safe and having a great time.
Was a great experience!
May 31, 2026by: Theo Gerlach - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had an awesome time in Spain. Not only was the size of the group perfect, but any time we had any questions, our host would be very responsive. The work itself was great, as we got experience working on real problems that these companies have.
Amazing trip!
May 31, 2026by: Ava Kolesnikov - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had an amazing trip with so many new memories and friends! Blanca was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Madrid was gorgeous and would love to go back. My internship was not the best experience but those feelings have been brought up.
Great experience!
May 31, 2026by: Joey Mitsch - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I enjoyed very much the city of Madrid. Blanca and Cata did amazing in helping us learn the city, and they are awesome people! I met Carlota once during my presentation, and she was very nice and helpful! The location of Fuencarral was not the best because it was far from most places in the city, and there is not very much around the area. I was also upset with the disrespectful attitude of my boss at BIP. But on the other hand, multiple other workers at BIP were very nice and made the workplace environment so much better!
Best experience ever!
May 31, 2026by: Akshaya Mukkala - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
These past 3 weeks have been an amazing experience for me! Blanca Cata Carlotta and Paula made my travel and time so much easier and fun! I will definitely miss it. I do wish the accommodation was closer to the city area as getting food was hard. Other than that 10/10 for everything else!
Rotterdam is so much fun!
May 31, 2026by: Dylan Keller-Gray - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
This program was genuinely an incredible learning experience and so much fun. Our country coordinators made the experience even more memorable by helping us learn how to navigate the city and introducing us to some of the best local places to visit. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in this program—it was truly one of the best experiences of my life!
What a fun start to the summer!
May 30, 2026by: Eliza Abbott - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I could’ve of asked for a better experience abroad. I felt supported and safe while getting a valuable work experience out of it. Mathilde and Marina were great guides that introduced our group to the city and had great recommendations. This really was a great opportunity I’m grateful for.
Incredible Experience
May 30, 2026by: Rachel Perrigo - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had such a great time in Vienna, Austria. Our in country providers, Valentina and Alex, were fantastic and always willing and able to help when we needed it. The work experience was a very valuable introduction into consulting, and the place of stay was a convenient location by the train station.
It was a great experience
May 30, 2026by: Abigail Nahum - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
micampus location was definitely the only thing that made this experience not exceptional. It was frustrating to not be able to be immersed in madrids city life compared to other fisher global programs. Although it was nice. CBRE was a great company and opportunity. Blanca did a great job as well.

May 30, 2026by: Jacqueline Sterling - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I loved the placement of the company but wished their was more mentorship and more health of an environment. The location of the campus was convenient, though at time we wished we were closer to the city.
