Internship
Nordens Ark accepts students for internships from universities and colleges. We prioritize students with some kind of natural science focus. The internship period should be three weeks or more.
Most tasks are performed independently. Therefore, a requirement for doing an internship at Nordens Ark is that you are self-motivated and solution oriented.
During the internship period, we can offer a limited number of students free accommodation at Nordens Ark. There are also hostels within driving, bus and cycling distance.
