Employment prospects

Many international students hold part-time jobs when studying in Norway. It is a good way to learn and practice your Norwegian, and increase your budget. You should, however, be aware that there are restrictions on how much you can work besides being a full time student.

Generally, a student residence permit does not cover the right to take employment in Norway. However, if you are granted a study permit, you are automatically also granted permission to work part-time.

Non-EU/EEA students can work 20 hours per week during their first year of study. Beware that when renewing the study permit the part-time work permit is not automatically renewed. To renew the work permit the students have to document satisfactory progress in their studies. Please consult your institution.
