Note that we have changed our name to UiO Growth House. Articles written before 2023 use the old name Life Science Growth House.
The aim of the internship programme is to introduce students to alternative career paths where they can utilise their knowledge and competence. Companies, for their part, get access to smart, hard-working students who are interested in learning and contributing.
Run by student innovation associations
The Student Association for Medical Innovation (SMI) initiated the internship programme. Today SMI runs the programme in collaboration with The Student Association for Pharmaceutical Innovation and The Student Association for Innovation at the Department of Chemistry.
Students from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences can attend the programme.
The feedback from both students and companies that have attended the programme so far has been overwhelmingly positive.
