Would you like to spend part of your course gaining practical experience in one of the biggest environmental and nature conservation organisations in the world?
As an intern with WWF Sweden, you will get the chance to learn and try your hand at as much as possible in your field in a stimulating, international environment. You will have a supervisor who supports you and helps you to develop. You will also engage with other interns and employees and gain a broad insight into WWF’s work.
WWF Sweden offers internships in all our departments when possible. The number of internships we offer and their focus will vary.
We announce all our internships at Job and internship openings so keep an eye out there for upcoming opportunities. If you don’t see a suitable internship at the moment, we recommend that you connect and register your interest in internships so we can send you an email when we publish new internship openings.
We aim to publish internship opportunities 3–6 months before the internship starts. If you are looking for an internship for the spring semester, you apply in the autumn semester and vice versa. We usually take on interns for periods of 3–6 months. The exact dates are flexible to fit in with the structure of different courses.
To apply for an internship with us, you need to be studying a course at a higher education institution such as a university, college or vocational higher education college that includes an internship/work placement, or be entiteld to an internship via the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen). Our internships are unpaid.
The WWF office is in the beautiful setting of Ulriksdal Palace in Stockholm. Some of your work can be done remotely, how much will be shown in each internship vacancy announcement.
Unfortunately, we have limited opportunities to take on students at school or upper secondary school for work experience/PRAO.
