- One, pre-arranged internships, mainly our internal NCHR internships and several external partners. Here the host institution has committed to receive one (or more) of our student(s). The application process will be shared with you in January each year.
- Two, pre-approved internships. These are internships which are available through open, public competition, but which are pre-approved in the sense that if you obtain any of these internships yourself, you are guaranteed to have the internships approved for the course. To apply for these internships, follow the organisation’s procedures for the relevant internships. If you obtain such an internship, please contact the course coordinator at the earliest opportunity. If you don’t have such an internship confirmed before the application deadline for the pre-arranged internships, please submit an application for the pre-arranged internships as well.
- Three, internships which are available through open, public competition or through private initiatives, but which are not pre-approved by us. You are highly encouraged to find an internship with institutions other than those we list, but if you do, you must apply to the course coordinator to have the internship approved for the course. If you obtain such an internship, please contact the course coordinator at the earliest opportunity. If you don’t have such an internship confirmed and approved before the application deadline for the pre-arranged internships, please submit an application for the pre-arranged internships as well.
Examples of typical NCHR pre-arranged Internships:
Please note that the organisations and availability fluctuate each year due to many factors. While we cannot be sure these internships are available for your year – below are some examples (not an exhaustive list) of the organisations where students have interned recently:
Amnesty International (Norway)
FOKUS – Forum for Women and Development
NCHR
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee
Norwegian National Institute for Human Rights (NIM)
Norwegian Refugee Council
Norwegian Human Rights Fund
SAIH – Studentenes og Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond
UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Defenders
In addition, please note that other organisations may be added each year (or existing ones may not be available)- so there may be new organisations available. A definitive list will be shared of all the internships pre-arranged by NCHR in January, prior to an information meeting also held last week January where you will have an opportunity to hear from the organisations offering internships. Application then takes place in February each year through NCHR– and you will receive information about that. ‘
