Career

Working during and after study in Norway

Understand the legal conditions first, then evaluate how your programme connects to employers and further study.

Work rules in Norway

Study-permit holders may receive limited work rights subject to the current permit conditions, while EU/EEA citizens follow freedom-of-movement rules. Verify the exact allowance before employment.

Use institutional career support

Ask universities about internships, career services, employer partnerships and graduate outcomes for your field.

Plan beyond graduation

Graduate residence and employment routes are separate from admission. Start checking them well before student status ends.
