Internship after graduation (recent graduate)

"Poststudierett"

Students will be registered with "poststudierett" (post graduate right to study) during the internship period. This means that the regular right to study will be closed and the diploma will be issued. The "poststudierett" does not come with a right to register for courses. The semester fee must be paid.

This only applies for students who are completing a internship or traineeship after graduation.

Have you received an Erasmus+ grant for an exchange?

Students can receive an Erasmus+ grant for up to 12 months per level of studies.

• Example: a student who has completed an exchange semester in Europe at the master level that lasted for five months and received an Erasmus+ grant can receive an Erasmus+ grant for up to seven months for a internship
