Lund University - Summer Research in Engineering

Program dates: 8 weeks from early May until July

The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, in Sweden, is among the leading engineering faculties in Europe and the research carried out is of high international standard and is world-leading in several areas. 

During the summer Lund offers UBC Engineering students the opportunity to engage in 8 week summer research projects running from May - June.  There are nearly 50 research placements available in more than 25 projects exclusively for students from the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto.

Learn more about the program and see the list of projects listed on the Lund Program Website.  

• Meet Go Global eligibility requirements.
• 2nd, 3rd or 4th year student. Students graduating in May are welcome to apply.
• Meet any additional lab project requirements as outlined on the program website.

On-campus housing is provided for students participating in this program.

All structured research abroad programs involve two parts: applying to Go Global to request nomination and submitting an application to the partner university.

Go Global reviews all applications for nomination on a rolling basis and encourages students to submit their Go Global applications as soon as possible.
 

1. Review the project list or available labs on the partner website to ensure there is a project or lab you are interested in.

2. Apply to register your interest with Go Global online. Students can apply to up to 3 programs on one application and are asked to submit a brief statement of interest.

3. Go Global will update your online application within 2 weeks of submission with detailed instructions on how to submit your partner application and your UBC transcript.

4. Each partner application may request different supporting documents. For Lund,  prepare to have the following documents ready to include with your partner application:

• Official transcript (provided by Go Global)
• Curriculum Vitae
• Motivation Letter

5. Once you've collected all documents, submit them to Go Global by the deadline outlined in the instructions you receive from our office. Our team will forward all applications to Lund University for review
