Notes

Internships in the United Kingdom

You need a visa for an internship in the United Kingdom. To do this, your internship position must issue you with a "Certificate of Sponsorship". This entitles you to apply for a Government Authorized Exchange visa(Temporary Work). General information on this can be found here under "Temporary work visas." You can find a guide to applying here under "Apply from outside the UK", click on "Apply online."

If you are unsure, please check with your internship institution.

Internships in Switzerland

Following the Swiss referendum on limiting immigration and the resulting exclusion of Switzerland's participation in Erasmus+, the Swiss Federal Council introduced a national scholarship program, the Swiss European Mobility Programme (SEMP). What does this mean for you?

You apply for a scholarship via SEMP in Switzerland. You will receive information on this from the Swiss partner university or internship institution. If SEMP funding is not available at your host institution, please contact the International Office in Greifswald.

"My strong curiosity about foreign culture, the craving for new interpersonal experiences and the wish to improve my English skills and gain practical experience first-hand motivated me to take the chance and study in a foreign country." (Leona, practical training year, surgical term in Sotuh Africa)

She and other outgoers talk about their experiences abroad in our blog Greifswald goes International [de] and in our Podcast [de].
