Stockholm 8 week program

My experience with Absolute Internship in Stockholm gave me a strong balance of professional experience followed by gaining more indpendence. I interened at Sniph Perfumes, where i worked on financial analysis and content market research such as the customer journey analysis, identifying competitors for the company, and UX and conversion optimization. My team was wonderful and supporting and they were collaborative, which helped me easily integrate to the work culture, as i was initially used to working in more hierahcal places. The ongoing support from the staff is also very well done as they are fast and responsive and answer your questions in a timely manner. Finally, i made several very important friends in this program and it created a life long lasting experience.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Pickled Herring. I had it at Midsommar in VasaParken as one of my PC's gave it to me. I thought it tasted really weird at first but turns out it is ok to put on bread as well.
Pros
  • Mueseums (Vasa, Viking , Skansen)
  • Experience a new culture and perspective
  • FIKA Culture is Amazing. You will get used to plenty of pastries and coffee during breaks.
Cons
  • Stockholm is a Very Expensive City (one of the most in Europe). Many costs such as Dining Out can be very costly, as this is an unpaid intersnhip. Highly reccomended for students to budget wisely and use cheaper options such as ICA (grcoery store chain.
  • Transportation Delays on the T Bahn some days but this was not notified of me by my PC's ahead of time.
  • Housing was fine, as I had a clean room but we did not have a dishwasher and coffee machine. The laundry machines was ok but one of our dryers was broken and they didn't fix it for weeks.

Absolute Internship was an amazing experience!

Absolute Internship was such a great experience, I cannot recommend it enough! I spent 4 weeks in Stockholm, Sweden in June 2026 and wish I had stayed longer! The programme was so well organised with orientation, making me feel really comfortable in the country before I started work. They sorted everything from accommodation to metro cards and the programme coordinators were available 24/7 over text whenever you had a question. My internship was really well suited to me and I learnt so much. I loved my time in Sweden so much and I wish I could go back!

Intern Abroad in Stockholm!

Stockholm is a beautiful place to spend the summer, and I've experienced a multitude of personal and professional development, both in and out of the workplace. I've been able to hone in on what I really want to pursue as a career, grow those skills, and meet the most amazing people while I'm at it! The program coordinators were so wonderful and supportive throughout the entire journey, my boss was incredibly welcoming, and the other students in the program created some of the strongest friendships I've ever experienced.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
At our Midsummer picnic, we tried sill, pickled herring.

Incredibly rewarding experience

This was an incredibly rewarding experience overall. I was able to build meaningful connections in both my professional and personal life, which made my time abroad even more valuable and memorable. It also gave me the opportunity to apply what I had been studying in a completely new and unfamiliar environment, helping me grow both academically and professionally. I gained confidence in my abilities and developed new skills that I know will benefit me in the future. This kind of hands-on experience has become more difficult to find in my city, where opportunities in my industry have recently become more limited, making this experience even more impactful.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
One of the most unique foods I tried in Sweden was herring. I was a bit hesitant at first, especially since it was fish served from a jar, but it turned out to be absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed it when paired with traditional sides like boiled potatoes, eggs, rye bread, and pickles, which really brought out the flavors.
Pros
  • Work-life Balance
  • Innovative Environment
  • Cultural Experience
Cons
  • High cost of living
  • Adjustment Period
  • Sunlight adjustment (later became a pro)

My Absolute Internship Experience

My Absolute Internship experience helped me learn more about different work cultures and how language barriers can affect the workplace. It also helped grow my time management and independent skills that can be used in the future. During the internship, I worked on several projects with my internship coordinator, and was able to learn many new skills. My placement coordinater, Bastien Kahn, was extremely helpful and flexible in finding an internship that was most suitable for me. Great experience overall!

An Unforgettable Adventure Abroad

I had an incredible time! It allowed me to build lifelong friendships with people from places I never imagined. The opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and navigate life in a foreign country was both challenging and rewarding. Absolute Internship provided constant reassurance and support, making the experience much smoother, especially when adapting to being on my own. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking personal and professional growth abroad.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not get too comfortable in a routine, keep things fresh and fun by trying some new ATLEAST once a week.
Pros
  • Gave me a chance to network and make new friends
  • Experience a new culture and perspective
  • Really good support and advice from Absolute Internship
Cons
  • The internship placement may not perfectly align with your personal career goals or skills (might be a good thing if you're looking to try something new).
  • While making connections with other interns is great, there could have been more opportunities provided to fully integrate or connect with Swedish culture and local professionals.
  • Wish I got to try more food and stay longer!

Best Life- Changing experience ever

Went here during my gap year, with no clue on what was out there in the world or what to expect. I learned SO much from this, from my career field to working in a team, managing tasks and meeting new people. The office was stunning, and Absolute Internship was always there to help and checked in too. I came back with a new sense of understanding, belonging and more. Truly a good experience for those who want to learn more about their field, themselves and even just have fun in general! Thank you so much Absolute Internship!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I attended a talk by THE Microsoft CEO, which was super cool. This was just on top of the other entrepreneurs who came by. On a more fun note, I went for the Eras Tour, boat rides, amusement parks, concerts, bars, camping (midsummer was amazing) and even a cruise!!
Pros
  • Life-changing
  • Fun and engaging
  • Learn more about the outside world and cultures
Cons
  • Homesickness
  • Unpaid internship
  • You won't want it to end!!
