Kent Andersson
: The use of thesis in this context should, in my opinion, be avoided since it could misslead the reader to believe that it is a PhD-thesis, which it is not.

The word "theses" should not be avoided, but, if needed, be qualified, as in my 2nd reference.

apprenticeship
or 'field work'
The answers already given for the term, ie thesis, for examensarbeten, is what it is.
However reading your question, apprenticeship might be what you are looking for.
However depending upon the major or field of study, and what they are doing, it could be something else, such as field work, or a summer clerkship.
