Scholarship programmes
The Swedish Red Cross University annually seeks external funding to offer both our students and staff opportunities to study and work abroad as well as to be able to welcome foreign guest students and teachers.
Erasmus+
Erasmus + is a collaboration between colleges and universities in Europe. Students and staff at the Swedish Red Cross University can study and serve at a higher education institution in another European country through the programme. The Swedish Red Cross University has agreements with several European universities.
During semester 5, students can participate in the Erasmus programme and conduct exchange studies for at least 13 weeks. Most often, both work-based education and theoretical courses are included, and you may acknowledge these courses in your nursing education. When you participate in the programme, you will receive a scholarship to cover travel expenses and parts of your living expenses during the exchange. The scholarship is 400-460 euros per month, depending on which country you visit.
Erasmus+ internship
Students at the Swedish Red Cross University may work abroad and gain experience relevant to their education. By doing a traineeship abroad with Erasmus+, they can improve their communication, language and inter-cultural skills.
Erasmus + internship is an exchange program that allows students to be an intern in an organization, such as in a hospital, in another European country. The student receives a scholarship to practice for two months, for instance, during the summer months, or within a year after graduating from university. However, the students must apply for the internship while still studying at the Swedish Red Cross University. The internship does not give higher education credits, but the Ladok extract will include a notion about the completed internship.
