UN House Scotland is supported by numerous interns, from a variety of sectors. Many of the UN House interns are students from Edinburgh’s prestigious universities and colleges, others undertake internships after graduating, in order to gain the valuable experience needed, to begin a career in international relations, policy making or political engagement. UN House could not operate without the hard work of its interns, who are instrumental in coordinating events, conferences and programmes.
