Internship 2027 - Data Analytics Interns

We like to think of ourselves as more than just developers. We're a friendly group of around 300 people with plenty of casual and hardcore gamers, tech heads and creative masterminds, organized planners, and nerdy game fans who make this industry so fun. And we’re all together on a mission to open windows to amazing worlds. We've been making games for over 30 years, crafting and publishing unique experiences that have put us on the path to becoming a leader in Online Worlds.

We've got four studios spread across Norway, the USA, Portugal, and Romania, and we're always on the lookout for more dedicated people to join our ranks.

We're all about creating a relaxed and equal workspace where flat communication and our agile structure are key to delivering world-class games.

So, if you're ready to make your mark, we're ready to welcome you!

Applications are now open for our 2027 internship program at our Oslo studio. We are welcoming students currently enrolled in a relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program at an educational institution in Norway, who want to complete an unpaid internship as part of their studies.

Because arrangements for internships vary between institutions and programs, we encourage you to confirm the requirements with your institution before applying.

The program offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience, learn from experienced colleagues and mentors, and contribute towards great games.

Application deadline: September 23, 2026

Time and place

Time of the internship: January-May 2027

Place: Oslo, Norway, On-site. You will need to arrange and cover your own travel and accommodation. You'll also have access to our free breakfast bar and lunch.

Our goal is to help set you up for a strong career in game development. After completing the internship, you'll be very welcome to apply for open positions at Funcom.

Your Mission at Funcom

We are looking for two Analytics Interns to join our team. Analytics is a growing part of how we improve our games at Funcom. Turning data about how people play into clear, reliable insights that help teams make better decisions. As an Analytics Intern, you would be embedded in our seven-person team and paired with an experienced analyst as your mentor, doing hands-on work and learning transferrable skills.

How you can have an impact in your position:

You would work alongside our analysts on real player and game data, taking on well-scoped tasks with guidance and growing your scope over time.

• Preparing, cleaning, and validating datasets used in recurring analyses and reporting.

• Supporting recurring KPI reporting and dashboard updates for our live games.

• Helping with well-defined analyses such as retention cuts, cohort breakdowns, player profiling, and live-ops readouts.

• Supporting telemetry and event-tracking checks under guidance and helping investigate straightforward data-quality issues.

• Turning findings into clear charts and summaries and sharing your work with the team.

Careful data preparation is a genuine part of analytics, not just the analysis at the end, and you should expect it to be part of your week.

What we are looking for:

You do not need professional analytics experience. We're interested in the foundations you've developed through coursework, personal projects, or other practical work - and in your curiosity about games, players, and data.

• You are currently enrolled in a relevant Bachelor's or Master's degree program in a quantitative or evidence-based field. This includes dedicated analytics and data science programs, as well as fields such as statistics, mathematics, economics, computer science, engineering, natural sciences, and psychology or cognitive science.

• You enjoy working with data and like the puzzle of turning a messy question into a clear answer.

• You have some exposure to working with data, for example through coursework, a thesis, or personal projects, using tools such as Excel, Python, R, or SQL. Fundamentals and a willingness to learn matter more than a long tool list, and we expect to teach you a lot.

• You can communicate clearly in English, which is our working language, and are comfortable asking questions in a flat, collaborative team.

• You are genuinely passionate about video games. This is central to the role. An interest in the kinds of games we make is a real advantage: survival games, multiplayer and MMO experiences, and large-scale open-world titles that players return to over long periods.

Application guidelines

• Please include a cover letter that answers the following questions:

  • Why are you interested in analytics, and what excites you about joining Funcom?

  • What do you hope to learn, and how might the experience support your future career?

  • What skills, strengths, and attitudes would you bring to the team?

• Attach a copy of your latest academic grade transcript with your application.

• You are welcome to also include references, or a letter of recommendation from your teacher or school.

We evaluate candidates on an ongoing basis and recommend candidates to apply as soon as possible!

Please apply in English.
