Students at the Ilulissat Icefjord Office

As an intern in the Ilulissat Icefjord Office you are allowed to work with concrete and current tasks. You will be assigned an internship supervisor in the office, who will be able to help and advise you.

We expect that you:

• Are willing to make a serious effort.
• Can work independently.

We prefer interns who have at least two-three years of study experience and are motivated to complete an internship of a minimum of three months. We recommend that you already have a concrete project / task which you plan to work on during your stay. Pupils from the Greenlandic primary school have the opportunity to join us for a shorter period of work experience.

Accommodation and Study Grants
We can help you to find the cheapest accommodation during the internship. Ilulissat Icefjord Office does not have the option to pay a salary or to cover the travel costs. We recommend that you apply for grants to finance your travel expenses. Greenlandic students can contact the Greenland Houses in Denmark or they can talk to their local study adviser in Greenland. It is possible to get state grants during an internship in Greenland.
