Always confirm the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.

Eligibility

Students in a graduate or undergraduate programme (at least two years completed) or recent graduates within two years; English B2; no immediate relative working at UNHCR.

How to apply

  1. Check who can apply: semester, degree, CGPA and whether the internship is paid, unpaid, on-site or remote.
  2. Send a one-page CV that lists your best project first, with what you built, the tools you used and a result.
  3. Write a short, specific email or cover note: who you are, which internship, why that team, and when you are available.
  4. Apply early; many internships close once they have enough applicants, before the stated deadline.
  5. If you have heard nothing in a week or two, send one polite follow-up email.
