Praksis etter endt grad (Egenvalgt)

Practice in the EU after graduation are offered to all USN students. NB. You have to find the internship yourself!

Take advantage of the opportunity to work in an EU country when you have finished your bachelor or master degree. You will receive E+grant for practice for 3 - 12 months.

Erasmus grant

If you soon are finishing your bachelor's or master's degree here at USN? Start looking for an internship in the EU/EEA countries. If you get an internship in one of the EU countries, you can apply for an Erasmus+ grant of 620-680 EUR per month (depending on which country you are going to), in addition to any salary or scholarship you receive from your employer.

If you have been on an Erasmus+ exchange stay for 1 semester during your studies, you can still travel on an Erasmus+ practice after completing your degree (each student can be on an Erasmus stay for up to 12 months in total during the degree).

Example:
If you have been on an exchange for 4 months and received an Erasmus + scholarship, you can travel on Practice in Europe after graduation, and receive support for 8 months.

The internship

This is a unique opportunity to gain relevant international work experience and network as a recent graduate! Internships after graduation have great potential, as the stay does not stand in the way of your study progression.

The internship can find place in; companies, organizations, institutions, embassies, permanent delegations and/or schools in all EU countries, including Iceland, Liechtenstein, Northern Macedonia or Turkey (excluding EU institutions and Erasmus + national offices). You can not apply for a scholarship for an internship in Norway.
