Background:
The UN in Bosnia and Herzegovina cordially invites all undergraduates and postgraduates from BiH and abroad to expand their educational experience through practical work and exposure to a variety of global and national development challenges (Millennium Development Goals, human security, local development, democratic governance, energy and environment, social inclusion, communications, finance, human resources, information and communications technology and procurement).
The Internship Scheme will provide prospective interns with an opportunity to get acquainted with the UN system and its corporate values, to become closely involved in its programme and operations as well as to learn about global perspectives and national development strategies. Please note that the Internship scheme is entirely based on the concept of volunteerism and, as such, involves no remuneration or guarantee of future employment with UN. However the UN in Bosnia and Herzegovina is willing to support Interns in their job searching activities.
Qualifications:
UN may accept interns providing the following conditions are met:
a) enrolment:
• enrolled in a degree programme in a graduate school (second university degree or higher) at the time of application and
during the internship (if a candidate is graduating before the internship period begins, they are no longer eligible); or
• have completed at least four years of full-time studies at a university or equivalent institution towards the completion of a degree, if pursuing
their studies in countries where higher education is not divided into undergraduate and graduate stages;
• not have graduated prior to the beginning of the internship.

• proficiency in English;

• demonstrated keen interest in the work of the UN, and have a personal commitment to the ideals of the UN Charter; and
