International internship listings can differ in academic requirements, placement dates and application documents. Use official sources and check whether a placement fits your situation before writing a full application.

Start with programme pages

Check UNICEF’s internship page and UN Careers for official opportunities. Also ask your institution’s placement office about partner organisations, especially if your degree requires approval for a placement.

Build an eligibility checklist

Record whether the advert requires current enrolment or recent graduation, which languages it specifies, and what location or working arrangement applies. Check the application window and read any information about funding, travel or work authorisation on the official listing.

Prepare evidence for the specific programme

Select a project showing a relevant skill, such as writing a report or analysing data. Confirm whether a transcript or institutional letter is needed and request it early. Keep the official link and submitted files together so you can refer to them later.
