Why be a United Nations intern?

If you are thinking of entering the world of diplomacy and public policy, an internship at the United Nations could be the ideal start for you.

The objective of the internship is to give you a first-hand impression of the day-to-day working environment of the United Nations. You will be given a real chance to work with our people. As part of our team, working directly with outstanding and inspiring career professionals and senior management, you will be exposed to high-profile conferences, participate in meetings, and contribute to analytical work as well as organizational policy of the United Nations. Initially you will take on the amount of responsibility you can shoulder; the potential for growth, however, is yours to develop.

Can you be a United Nations intern?

Are you enrolled in, or have completed, the final academic year of a first university degree programme (minimum bachelor's level or equivalent).), or are you enrolled in, or have completed, a graduate school programme (second university degree or equivalent, or higher)?

Do you have excellent command of English or French?

Are you neither a child or a sibling of a United Nations Secretariat staff member?

Keep in mind:

Duration: The internship programme lasts for at least two months and can be as long as six months. Once selected, you must begin your internship either prior to or within one year of graduation.

Cost: United Nations interns are not paid. All costs related to travel, insurance, accommodation, and living expenses must be borne by either the interns or their sponsoring institutions.

Visa: You will be responsible for obtaining and financing the necessary visas.

Travel: You will arrange and finance your travel to the United Nations location where you will be an intern.

Medical insurance: You will be responsible for costs arising from accidents and/or illness incurred during the internship and must show proof of a valid major global medical insurance coverage.

Confidentiality: You must be discreet and keep confidential any and all unpublished information obtained during the course of the internship and may not publish any documents based on such information.

Academic Credit: You may get academic credit from your institution of higher education for the internship. Check with your university to confirm their academic credit policy for internships.

If you are interested in internships with other United Nations funds and programmes listed, please apply with them directly through the links below.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

Dear Esteemed Delegates,

My name is Supriya Sharma, and I am thrilled to be the Secretary-General for the 27th iteration of UC Berkeley's premier collegiate Model United Nations Conference (UCBMUN XXVII). On behalf of all my Secretariat and Staff, it is my pleasure to invite you to San Francisco once again to debate, create policy, and meet other delegates from across the globe. Additionally, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting our conference this year at a new location, the Intercontinental San Francisco, a hotel in Union Square, in an area with so much to offer its visitors.

Located in Union Square, our conference will aim to channel San Francisco's tenant of 'progress above all.' Whether you are working towards building your drug trade and avoiding the attention of Federal agents in our Breaking Bad Committee, debating the fate of RuPaul's Drag Race, or discussing Ireland's status in the EEC in Irish Parliament, our committees will challenge and dare delegates to think beyond the basics. While you are here, we hope you also take the time to explore the city, more than even just a few blocks surrounding the hotel. At UCBMUN, however, we would like to stress that the support and well-being of our delegates is our top concern; if you ever have any issues, please do not hesitate to flag down any of our staffers.

Once again, it is my absolute honor to invite you to our conference in the city that birthed the historic UN charter hosted by the university home to the Free Speech Movement. Join us from March 2nd, 2023, to March 5th, 2023, for an iconic UCBMUN.

Best Regards,

Supriya Sharma
Secretary-General, UCBMUN XXVII

After the University of Edinburgh Model United Nations Society had the honour of hosting WorldMUN in 2005, the idea for ScotMUN was formed. The conference, which was Scotland's first, was officially founded in 2007 and jointly hosted with the University of St. Andrews, until 2010 when Edinburgh University Model United Nations Society ( EdMUN) became the sole host. ScotMUN has always been committed to providing delegates with quality debates in small committees and to hosting great social events in Scotland's beautiful capital, such as our popular ceilidh.

The University of Glasgow Model United Nations Society is happy to announce our first Model United Nations (MUN) conference!

Dates: 29-31 March 2023

Location: University of Glasgow Main Campus

We have been preparing in close collaboration with university officials to ensure engaging and purpose-filled debate and discussion. We hope GlasMUN will provide a platform for all to experience MUN at its best - whether delegates are completely new to this format of dialogue and diplomacy or more experienced delegates. GlasMUN aims to attract all who wish to have a fairly small and contained conference but with the engagement and atmosphere which can be provided only in Glasgow.
The GlasMUN Secretariat is thrilled to welcome all delegates from everywhere with a useful and captivating conference in the vibrant city of Glasgow.
It feels like every day there is something new on the horizon of the ever-changing world. From damaging inactivity to climate change, to the propulsion of growing war in various regions; It is for such reasons as well as many others that GlasMUN 2023's theme is: ' Preventing the Apocalypse'. We believe such a theme will start this wonderful conference off with a hypothetical B A N G.

Delegates can expect to debate in exciting committees, including the House of Commons, World Health Organisation, UN Conference of the Parties and the UN Security Council, with varying difficulties to cater to the abilities of delegates.

Through debate, delegates have the opportunity to meet world-changers alike and engage in intense debates. This allows participants to develop key 21 st century skills and be future-ready, in order to face the uncertain future that lies ahead. The conference also provides an opportunity to further enhance the curriculum vitae of students.

With diplomacy reaching its limits on the world stage, countries using diplomacy only for its name rather than the betterment of humanity, can and will we as delegates at GlasMUN come together with our passion and understanding of the massive challenges faced internationally to find ground for resolution through debate. As the United Nations in its various forms seeks to find solutions to numerous matters, we must focus on certain issues to see if any one of us can provide innovative solutions for the problems humanity currently faces.

For further information, including how to apply, please follow the link to our website: https://uofgmun.wixsite.com/glasgow-model-united

Please follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages found at the bottom of this email for more updates.

Warmest Regards,

Glasgow Model United Nations 2023 Secretariat
