As the acknowledged leader in global public health issues, WHO is committed to building future leaders in public health. WHO's Internship Programme provides a wide range of opportunities for students to gain insight into the work of WHO. Every year a limited number of places for internships are available.

To take part in the programme, we look for the following minimum eligibility criteria:

• Applicants must be enrolled in a degree programme in a graduate school (second university degree or higher) both at the time of application and during the internship
• Applicants pursuing their studies in countries where higher education is not divided into undergraduate and graduate stages must have completed at least three years of full-time studies at a university or equivalent institution towards the completion of a degree.
• A minimum of 20 years of age
• Possess a first degree in a public health, medical or social field related to the technical work of WHO.
• Fluent in the working language of the office of assignment
