Apply for an internship in global sustainable development and become part of FUF's internship program.

Are you a student interested in global issues, development cooperation and Agenda 2030? In addition to your theoretical studies, do you want to gain insight into what is happening in workplaces that deal with these issues? Then you should apply to FUF's internship program.

Every semester, FUF offers internships to our members who are taking an internship course. The internships take place at authorities, organizations and companies that work with global development issues. At present, we do not offer internships abroad, but only internships in Sweden.

As an accepted intern, you will become part of FUF's internship program, which in addition to the internship also includes joint training opportunities, networking meetings and other activities that strengthen your network of contacts and increase your employability.

During the semester, you are also expected to help spread the word about the internship program. This can be done, for example, by attending a fair, giving a short presentation at your college or university, or sharing information on social media. The aim is to increase awareness of the program and inspire more people to apply.

Please note that the internship is unpaid. It is not a requirement to be eligible for student funding (CSN) in order to participate, however, it is important that you plan in advance how you will support yourself during the internship period.
