The

and rewarding experience for graduate level students and young

The
programme places a strong emphasis on the training, guidance, and
hands-on experience that form the foundation of a successful and
beneficial internship. Under guidance of the programme supervisor and
through working closely with UN professional staff, Junior Fellows will
learn about and provide support to the following ongoing assignments,
projects and initiatives within the Office of the Rector:
- Research and writing for institutional development: preparation of executive briefs on priority issues; background research and drafting of topical information briefs in support of internal policy development (i.e. related to the functioning of the University);
