Internship for students 2023: Registration opened for companies

Companies that want to offer summer jobs through the internship programme supported by the Life Science Growth House, can now sign up to attend in 2023. We hope to offer as many students as possible a summer job through the programme. Small and medium-sized companies can apply for co-funding of positions.

Students
Some of the students who participated in 2021. Read about their positive experiences in LMI's article Medical students positively surprised by the pharmaceutical industry (in Norwegian).

Note that we have changed our name to UiO Growth House. Articles written before 2023 use the old name Life Science Growth House.

The aim of the internship programme is to introduce students to alternative career paths where they can utilise their knowledge and competence. Companies, for their part, get access to smart, hard-working students who are interested in learning and contributing.

Run by student innovation associations

The Student Association for Medical Innovation (SMI) initiated the internship programme. Today SMI runs the programme in collaboration with The Student Association for Pharmaceutical Innovation and The Student Association for Innovation at the Department of Chemistry.

Students from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences can attend the programme.

The feedback from both students and companies that have attended the programme so far has been overwhelmingly positive.

Support from the Growth House

Companies of any size are welcome to fund an unlimited number of summer jobs. The Growth House covers 50 per cent of the salary of 20 positions in small and medium-sized companies. You apply for support when you register your company – first come, first served!
