United Nations Secretariat internships

About this opportunity

The UN Secretariat takes interns at its offices worldwide. You must be enrolled in, or have graduated within the last year from, a bachelor's, master's or PhD program, and have strong English or French. Internships last two to six months and are unpaid — interns or their schools cover travel, housing, insurance and living costs. Search careers.un.org with Category = Internship, build an Inspira profile, and apply to each posting before its closing date with a cover letter quoting the Job ID. The UN never charges fees at any stage.

What you get

• UN experience on your CV
• Offices around the world
• Postings open all year
