NRCI’s internship program offers a unique opportunity for dedicated students who pursue a career in international affairs and geopolitical risk analysis. My internship in NRCI provided daily exposure to international politics and security issues. When I studied in Oslo I worked as an intern at NRCI’s office and continued as a global intern through NRCI’s Global Internship Program when I studied abroad. My understanding of national, regional and global trends grew through my internship, which strengthened my research and analytical skills. I enjoyed demanding and stimulating tasks at NRCI. This internship opens new opportunities, both academically and professionally. I truly recommend NRCI’s internship program to ambitious students whether you study in Norway or internationally.

Participating as a research analyst in NRCI’s 2-years internship program for bachelor-degree students enabled me to develop professionally, academically and personally. NRCI’s dedicated leadership encouraged me to constantly challenge myself to handle new situations and tasks.

NRCI’s focus on team-work and human interaction combined with high-quality output generates a thriving learning environment, which makes NRCI a role model.
