Exchanges and collaboration

STAFF EXCHANGE

Doctoral students can apply for student exchange and practical placement within Erasmus+, and if they teach they can do teaching assignments in Erasmus+ as long as they fulfil the criteria for the programme. For third-cycle study, the criteria stipulate full-time study at the third-cycle level at an international institution and for the course of study to be part of a Karlstad University degree. Research is not included, but work to prepare your thesis is. The length of the exchange is 3-12 months. Information about staff exchange can be found on Inslaget, the University intranet available to all employees.
