A Guide to Internships Abroad in Stockholm

What you need to know about interning abroad in Stockholm, Sweden

Businesses with locations in Stockholm are often fairly powerful in the Nordic markets, since it is the largest city in any of the Scandinavian countries, with close to a million people in the city proper. From a Stockholm-located-business, you are primed to use your internship experience to leverage a position in many other places.

Popular types of internships in Stockholm. Given that IKEA’s beautiful, hard-to-pronounce furniture has its home here, it is hardly surprising that interning in interior design is popular in Stockholm. Hospitality internships are also available, as well as finance internships—a great fit considering this is a city known for successful business practices! Further, IT students should consider an information technologies internship in what has been dubbed the “Silicon Valley of Europe.”

Short term internships and summer internships vs. long-term internships in Sweden. Summer internships in Stockholm give you the chance to experience the glories of the extremely long, sunshine-filled days and the beautiful scenery of Stockholm’s watery surroundings. At the same time, taking a long-term internship abroad in Stockholm increases your chances of becoming an integral part of a team, so it can be perfect if you are using an internship to start a career in Sweden.

Unpaid vs. paid internships in Stockholm. The standard of living is second to none in Stockholm, but Sweden is one of the more expensive places to live if you are exchanging money into Krona. For this reason, you are better off getting a paid internship or at the least an internship that subsidizes housing in some way. If not, consider negotiating a less than full time unpaid internship and look for opportunities to also get a part time job in retail or the food industry to subsidize your own time in Stockholm. Ultimately, any work experience in Stockholm is worth it’s weight in Krona!

Went here during my gap year, with no clue on what was out there in the world or what to expect. I learned SO much from this, from my career field to working in a team, managing tasks and meeting new people. The office was stunning, and Absolute Internship was always there to help and checked in too. I came back with a new sense of understanding, belonging and more. Truly a good experience for those who want to learn more about their field, themselves and even just have fun in general! Thank you so much Absolute Internship!
