Together we form a creative and inclusive environment where the relations between staff and students are informal and open.

The role will involve training in a genuine university environment, where the candidate is expected to take on some important general administrative tasks as well as independently innovate and lead projects promoting international possibilities for students at the faculty.

The internship is full time, 40 hours per week and will start in the Autumn semester 2020, starting between 21-25 of September. Time for writing a report and relay information about activities back to the home university is included in the time allocated for the traineeship.

Endorsment from previous Trainee
"I can highly recommend to apply for an Erasmus+ Traineeship at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Linnaeus University. It will give you the chance not only to work independently and in an environment which is friendly, open-minded and supportive, but it also gives you a unique insight into University life from a complete different point of view. You won’t be a student attending lectures, but you will be a trainee giving presentations for students to help them making the best out of their study time and international possibilities. The experiences I got are various and inspiring. I could improve my English and Swedish language skills, my presentation skills and I could gain important work experiences helping me later to be more self-confident in taking initiative and coming up with new creative ideas."
