Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics Internship Programme

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.

About the Internship Programme

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.
