UN/IOM internships - information session

Are you an undergraduate (L5 and L6 only) or postgraduate student, ready to explore the University sponsored internship programme with the United Nations? Join us for this information session at Fyvie Hall to learn all about snagging that dream UN internship. Get full application details, tips from past interns, and meet with senior UN officials who will answer all your questions!

About: Thanks to an institutional agreement between the University and the United Nations Migration Agency (also known as the International Organizarion for Migration - IOM), Westminster students can apply for exclusive internship opportunities at IOM offices around the world. Westminster’s IOM interns receive funding in support of their internships from dedicated University funds. This year the programme enters its fourth year, with several students from diverse disciplinary areas, from politics to data sciences, having successfully completed these internships over the past three years, with many securiting full employment at the UN Migration Agency following the completion of their internship.

At this Briefing session, IOM representatives, including Michael Emery IOM's director of Human Resources, will provide information about this UN agency and the internship programme, and will answer all your questions to help you submit a strong application. Some of the programme's past interns will also join in to share their experiences with you. You can read more about the fascinating experiences of our 2024 interns here.

Applications for the 2025 internships will open in December 2024. This information session will provide vital information about the application process, funding and logistics.
