Background

We offer
Working hours are 37 hours (full time) per week and the duration of the internship is 5 months, starting 18 August 2025. We are flexible in terms of adapting working hours to your studies and any student jobs so 30 to 37 hours can be agreed.

As we cannot offer our interns a salary, it is a requirement that you receive SU. However, we offer you a free lunch scheme (mainly vegetarian) and the opportunity to participate in morning yoga once a week.

Our current office is located at Vesterbrogade 2B, 1620 Copenhagen V. In September 2025, the Oxfam Denmark organisation will be moving to new offices at Lyngbyvej 100, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, close to Ryparken S-train station.
