Recruit from BI

BI Internship

Bridge the gap between theory and practice. Gain fresh academic perspectives and dedicated talents by hosting BI interns.

BI Internship


The purpose of the BI Internship is to provide students at both Bachelor and Master level with a unique opportunity to combine business experience with their studies in a systematic way, enhancing the learning outcome in both environments.

By offering a credit-bearing internship, your organisation gains access to competent students eager to apply up-to-date academic theories and models to solve your specific tasks and challenges. This creates an arena for mutual learning, where students experience the relevance of their knowledge while the company gains fresh professional perspectives. 

A handbook containing further details and information will be available here soon. If you have any questions regarding the BI Internship, please send an email to internship@bi.no.
