UN (United Nations) Headquarters Internship Programme

United Nations Headquarters Internship Programme

The United Nations provides opportunities for students enrolled in a graduate programme to undertake an internship at its Headquarters in New York, Geneva, Vienna, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Beirut and Santiago.

The objective of the Internship Programme is threefold:
- to provide a framework by which graduate and post-graduate students from diverse academic backgrounds may be assigned to United Nations Offices where their educational experience can be enhanced through practical work assignments.
- to expose them to the work of the United Nations.
- to provide UN offices with the assistance of highly qualified students specialized in various professional fields.

Generally, deadlines will be four months before the start of the Internship Session:
End of January: Deadline for the Summer Session (early June to early August)
Mid-May: Deadline for the Fall Session (mid-September to mid-November)
Mid-September: Deadline for the Spring Session (mid-January to mid-March)
