About our student jobs

Oticon has approximately 50 student assistants working in various parts of our organisation. A student job is your opportunity to test out your theoretical knowledge obtained in your studies and put it to use in "real-life" projects. Student jobs also offer you an excellent entry point to permanent employment after graduation.

We consider our student assistants to be an important part of our business, because they contribute new knowledge, energy, and alternative perspectives.

Our cooperation with students and universities

At Oticon, keeping abreast of the latest information within our research areas is crucial, and several of our employees act as university censors. This provides us with a unique opportunity to be in close contact with instructors, students, and the research community. We also work together on a regular basis on various Bachelor and PhD projects. Our project students are a natural and enriching part of our product development and of our organisation. So we are always open to dialogue with good students who are interested in working with us – either within posted, defined projects or in entirely new areas. 

Are you a project trainee – bachelor, graduate or PhD? Write your project with us
We always have project trainees at Oticon. Typically, students are attached to specific projects, so they are viewed as an integrated part of our staff. If you would like to complete a project at Oticon, send us a description of it together with a personal application. When submitting your application, we ask that you please consider which professional area you would like to enter.
