These internships, located in exciting headquarter and country offices in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Central America, are an excellent opportunity to work with a United Nations (UN) agency and gain high-level professional experience.
Internship positions at the United Nations Migration Agency (also known as the International Organization for Migration - IOM) are now available for Level 5, Level 6 and Master students at Westminster to apply for.
These opportunities are exclusive to the University of Westminster students thanks to a collaboration agreement signed between the University and the United Nations Migration Agency in 2022.
About the internships
Nineteen internship positions are currently available to L5, L6 and Master students from the University of Westminster. Each internship is located in a different country and has its own specific duration and learning objectives and responsibilities.
This year’s internships are based in a variety of exciting locations which offer the chance to explore working at the headquarters of a UN agency (e.g. Switzerland) or immerse in country offices (e.g. Senegal, Costa Rica, Jordan, Zimbabwe, and Tunisia, among others).
The positions are full time, and their durations range from 3-9 months depending on the specific post, with the approximate start dates in May/June 2025. The exact start date will be discussed between each country office and the successful candidate.
The University of Westminster will finance a large portion of the cost of the internship to assist with flight and living expenses. Successful candidates will be contacted by the Student Mobility team and guided through the funding process.
