Welcome to the Internship Programme of the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics ! We offer a unique opportunity for graduate students to expand their academic horizons, gain valuable real-world experience, and contribute to cutting-edge research in mathematics and statistics.
Our program is a one-term immersive adventure based in the vibrant city of Umea, where you will be working directly with researchers in your selected field. This comprehensive program is an opportunity to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application.
You will also have the incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the breathtaking nature and rich culture of northern Sweden. Take in the awe-inspiring spectacle of the northern lights, enjoy the excitement of snowmobile rides, explore scenic hiking trails, visit a moose farm, and participate in a variety of winter sports activities.
You can learn more about the department, Umea University and Umea below:
1. Skill Development: Enhance your technical and soft skills through hands-on experiences.
2. Professional Growth: Gain insights into your chosen career path and make more informed decisions about your future.
3. Research Contributions: Participate in advanced research projects and potentially contribute to scholarly publications or new patents.
4. Networking Opportunities: Build professional relationships with accomplished researchers and like-minded peers.
The program is primarily directed to graduate students from our partner universities, but students from other universities are also eligible to apply. Application rounds are announced twice a year, and interested students should submit their applications via our online form.
Autumn application round (for internship during the forthcoming calendar year):
September 15th – October 15th
Spring application round (for internship during the forthcoming academic year):
March 1st – March 30th
Each application round relates to specific research projects and the applicants must choose one option. A general overview of the research profiles can be found in the Department brochure.
The list of topics for the internships taking place during the calendar year 2025 can be found here.
Applications are reviewed by a dedicated working group which, together with prospective supervisors, chooses the most eligible candidates based on their eligibility, academic record and compatibility with the selected project.
Successful applicants have their round-trip fare (economy class) to Umea covered by our department.
We support securing student accommodation (the intern covers the accommodation costs).
We assist interns in applying for the Erasmus+ stipend from their home institution.
When in Umea, our interns are provided with a conducive work environment, including a workspace, necessary working materials, and insurance.
We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
