APPLICATION DEADLINE: CLOSED
SELECTION: Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, within two weeks of application deadline. Please do not email to inquire about the status of your application. Shortlisted candidates will be required to provide a full commitment to the internship selection process by the UNDSS and waive any other internship opportunity at this time.
A formal acceptance of an ION internship is a final decision, and under no circumstances (unless health or family-related) can a student withdraw from the internship after accepting. The consequence of this would be refusal of candidature for future ION internship opportunities. Please remember, revoking a spot in one of the organizations means also revoking it from another student who might have had the opportunity to take it.
Successful candidates may be eligible for the Schull Yang International Experience Awards, provided they meet the requirements for the award. For more information click here.
Successful candidates are required to attend the following sessions:
- University-Wide Pre-Departure Session
