Opportunities for meaningful internships in international organizations abound in Geneva. Students enrolled in the Internship Semester program are guaranteed internship placements. Students in other tracks are strongly
encouraged to participate in a part-time internship.
Specific placements cannot promised, but every effort will be made to place students in appropriate internship positions. To aid in making placements, students who wish to intern should include a one-page internship statement with their application materials. Internship statements should detail the goals for the internship, the skills the student will bring bring to an organization and those she hopes to develop, and the type of organization she hopes to work with.
Academic credit is not awarded for internships. Internship Semester students integrate their internship experiences into their work in the History of International Organizations course. Full year students may enroll in the Practicum course in the spring semester.
Internship placements are available at many types of international
organizations and NGOs, and cover a broad spectrum of issues from an
international perspective, including:
- Politics
- Labor
- International Relations
- Human Rights
- Peace and Disarmement
- Environment and Sustainable Development
- Public Health
- Trade
