Job beskrivelseAfter receiving an overwhelming response to United Nations internships, Today at Opportunities Radar, I have curated a list of UN Agency Internships 2026 that are currently accepting applications. Throughout the year, multiple United Nations agencies, such as UNICEF, UNHCR, UNDP, FAO, and UN Women, working across multiple areas to promote peace and sustainable development, offer internships for outstanding students and recent graduates to gain hands‑on experience in the humanitarian and development sector, and to gain exposure to the United Nations’ work. The internship positions are offered in multiple UN agencies’ regional hubs, country offices, and HQ worldwide. The minimum duration of the internship at the UN is 2 months, and the maximum is 12 months. Students currently enrolled in a university degree (bachelor’s, master’s & PhD) or who have recently graduated are invited to submit their applications. Students with excellent academic achievement and an interest in United Nations work are highly encouraged to apply. The UN agencies offer a wide range of benefits to their interns, including a competitive stipend, hands‑on experience, CV enhancement, health insurance, and remote flexibility. Moreover, some agencies also provide travel and visa expenses. The application deadline for each internship varies. Note that the United Nations does not charge any application fee at the stage of the application process, so be aware of the scams; the application process is online via the official UN portal.
