Overview

The NatureUganda Internship Programme offers eligible/qualified students at both the Secretariat and field offices the opportunity to acquire direct practical experience in NatureUganda’s work under the direct supervision of experienced NatureUganda staff.

Eligibility requirements:

  • You need to be currently-enrolled undergraduate or post-graduate student in a field related to NatureUganda’s interests.
  • You must be enrolled during the proposed internship period.
  • Your academic performance should be excellent, as demonstrated by recent university or institution records.
  • Your application for an internship should be supported by your university or related institution. A minimum requirement is a letter from one of your lecturers/professors supporting your application.
  • Applicants must have a demonstrated interest in the field of conservation or natural resource management.
  • Ability to adapt and work in a multi-cultural setting. Additional consideration can be given for any past participation in NatureUganda's membership events and prior membership to NU.

However, please keep in mind that even if you meet these qualifications, there is no guarantee of placement. We receive many more applications from qualified candidates than we can place. Placement is subject to availability of meaningful assignments.

If you meet the above eligibility criteria, please send your application to our contact address with a cover letter indicating the reasons why you want to do internship at NatureUganda. The application should also be accompanied by recommendation letter from your lecturer/professor.
