Internships with UNHCR

Thank you for your interest in an internship with UNHCR.

Online applications

Your details will be stored in our central database for six months, after which time the application will be cancelled. Managers consult the database when searching for intern candidates with specific academic profiles. If your application is found to be of interest to one of our departments, the relevant manager will contact you directly. The Division of Human Resources Management (DHRM) does not coordinate this process.

Should you not be contacted within six months of submitting your application, you may register again. Your previous registration will be automatically cancelled.

Should you already be in contact with a manager interested in your candidature, an internship can still be offered without prior registration in the database. Please note that not all managers outside UNHCR headquarters in Geneva have access to the database. It is recommended that requests for internships in field/branch offices be submitted directly to the field/branch office concerned.

If you experience problems with registration, please contact us at E-mail Internships.
