Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] at least 20 years old
[ ] in the third or final year of a bachelor's degree, enrolled in a master's or PhD, or finished one of these no more than 12 months before the internship agreement
[ ] studying now, or graduated within the last 12 months
[ ] excellent written and spoken English or French
[ ] no pay: you pay your own visa, travel, health insurance and living costs

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] Transcripts (Ask your school early. Offices can take weeks.)
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
[ ] Identity document (A clear photo of both sides, if it has two.)
In their words: "An application on careers.unesco.org; before starting, proof of identity and a certificate of enrolment, transcript or recent diploma"

3. DATES
- Closes 31 December 2026, in 70 days.
- On the date, the listing says: This is a pool posting: you join the intern candidate pool for this area, your application stays valid for six months, and hiring managers contact you only if selected.
- Ask your school for transcripts by 17 December 2026, two weeks before it closes. Others need time to write and send. (our advice)
- Aim to send it by 28 December 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- The intern obtains any visa and arranges and pays for travel, and must hold comprehensive health insurance for the whole internship.
- Nothing to apply. Visa, travel, health insurance and living costs are yours.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
