ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳

Africa Internship Programme

The Africa Internship Programme was designed to support ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ African graduate students and recent alumni to undertake a funded short-term work-experience opportunity.

The programme is targeted at students who have the intention of continuing their career on the African continent post-ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ or who are interested in working on African issues.

What is the Africa Internship Programme?

Expanding on our objective to engage with employers, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Africa Internship Programme supports selected students who have the intention of continuing their career on the African continent post-ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ or who are interested in working on African issues throughout their career. It provides a learning opportunity for ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ students and recent alumni in the early stages of their career.

The virtual or hybrid internship programme is for residents of Africa currently participating in post-graduate programmes at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ or who have completed a post-graduate programme at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ in the past two years. The internships run between four weeks and six months. The programme is also open to current post-graduate students or recent alumni of the past two years who hold a dual residency with an African country but may normally reside outside of the continent.
