Student jobs and internships in European countries

Students from the EU/EEA can work in Norway alongside their studies. If you study there for more than 3 months, you register with the police – free of charge – just like workers.

• Part-time and summer jobs are normal jobs: you need a written contract, a tax deduction card and an ID number (D number or national identity number).
• In hotels, restaurants, cleaning and the other sectors with legally binding minimum wages, the minimum applies to you too.
• The Ung section of arbeidsplassen.no collects first jobs, part-time jobs and jobs that need no experience.
• Holidays: you are entitled to holiday from your first year, but holiday pay is only earned from the work you did the year before.

Students from outside the EU/EEA automatically get permission to work part-time for up to 20 hours a week with their study permit, and full-time during holidays.
