Internship at CBH
An internship is a project that does not reward university credits at KTH. It is not a part of a study programme. Internships or traineeships at CBH are only available to students who are enrolled in a program at an external university and who receive university credits for their internship.
If you want to do an internship at CBH, you must find an internship position at the school yourself.
- You can find internships in KTH's Degree project portal . Most internships at KTH are published there.
- It is possible to contact the research group you are interested in directly. You can find contact information on each department's website .
The roles
Information about the roles of the different parties for an internship at the CBH School.
The intern
The intern must be actively registered in a study program in higher education institution. An intern at KTH does not have the status of a KTH student and therefore not the same student rights. The intern is under the responsibility of the department and division where the supervisor of the project is attached.
The Swedish employment laws are applicable. The intern should comply with KTH's rules and regulations as well as its professional practices. Should the intern fail to do so, KTH may put an end to the internship.
The supervisor (mentor) at KTH
The supervisor has received approval from the head of the division or by default the head of the department to supervise internship at the school.
The supervisor is employed at the CBH School and must support and encourage the student to independently work with and complete his task in accordance with the established project plan.
Parts of the practical, ongoing supervision can be delegated to one or more other people with sufficient competence for the intended supervision (for example, doctoral student).
A doctoral student cannot act as the main supervisor and therefore should not sign agreements.
The supervisor ensures that the student becomes familiar with organization, requirements for documentation, necessary routines and safety aspects that apply to the workplace.
The home institution
Represented by an academic mentor or the administrative coordinator, the home institution validates and recognizes learning outcomes achieved by the learner.
Tripartite agreement
An internship does not require a bilateral exchange agreement with the partner institution. However, a tripartite agreement between the student, the home institution and the supervisor at KTH must be signed.
The home institution is responsible for providing the proper agreement to the student. Within EU, Erasmus Traineeship agreement are preferred. Only one agreement should be signed for the project.
Erasmus Traineeship Agreement is available on the European commission webpage. It is most often provided by the sending institution directly to the student.
