Cooperation with students

"Co-creation of tomorrow’s knowledge" is our vision. We want our students, academic staff and alumni to challenge each other through various activities. This can for instance be your firm providing Bachelor- or Master theses, student internships or being in touch with student activities. Cooperating with a student can mean getting inspiration to own development, introduce new perspectives to your business and get unexpected impulses to the workday that can be priceless. As an UiA alumn it is easier to get in touch with the fields of study you still wish to be a part of. Not sure of who at UiA to contact? Talk to us, and we will help you. 

In the future we wish to offer mentors to current students. You can already submit your interest to us.

Career counselling

Where do you go from here? As a member of UiA Alumni you can use our career guidance services for two years after graduation. In addition, you are welcome to join inspiring courses and lectures organised by UiA Career Services. When you have worked for some years, perhaps you want to share your experiences and be a resource for other students? We want to link students with alumni with  the same academic background, and we see that there is mutual value in exchanging experiences.
