City of Oulu offers summer internship positions for university students

The City of Oulu is continuing the initiative launched a year ago to offer summer internship positions to local university students aged 18 and over. The positions are available in various city units, including Corporate Administration, Cultural Administration, Cultural Centre Valve, the Museum and Science Centre, and BusinessOulu.

“The city’s summer jobs targeted at university students offer tasks where they can meaningfully apply and deepen the skills gained through their studies and degree, while engaging in sufficiently challenging assignments,” says service coordinator Outi Söderman-Juvani.

The range of summer employment opportunities offered by the City of Oulu is being expanded and directed especially toward students who are further along in their studies.

“We are looking for summer interns for tasks such as social media communications, archiving, and production and communications work in the cultural sector. There are also positions available for coordinating summer musicians and for public engagement work in museums,” lists service specialist Rosa Heininen.

The positions are open to university students who have completed at least their second year of studies, are not graduating yet, and will continue their studies in the autumn. International students who have completed a degree or studies outside Finland may also apply once their studies have been officially recognized by a Finnish educational institution.

Students whose municipality of residence is Oulu are eligible to apply. The internships last from one to two months between May and September 2026. Working hours are 30 hours per week, and the salary is 1,616.91 euros per month.

The application period for summer internships is 9 February–6 March 2026. Submit your application at ouka.fi/kesatyo.
