The scholarship from the home university will be higher than for Erasmus+ Studies.

The student cannot take courses and do an internship at the same time due to the rules of the European Commission.

Veterinary students that wish to do a clinical practice.

SLU Mobility team only accepts applications coming from our partner universities.

The clinic is normally only available during mid-June until mid-August. If SLU has an exchange agreement with the home university the student can apply as an exchange student. More information can be found here.
