Oxford Global Justice Internship Programme 2018-2019 - applications now open
The Oxford Global Justice Programme, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Oxford Pro Bono Publico are coordinating calls for fellowship and internship opportunities taking place in 2018. This will enable a clearer process and point of contact for those interested in applying.
The Oxford Global Justice Internship Programme is a programme initiated by the Public International Law Group within the Oxford Law Faculty. The aim of the programme is to provide financial assistance to Oxford law graduates seeking valuable work experience in international law. The programme will provide support to graduate students within the Faculty and recent Oxford law graduates who wish to undertake internships at international courts or tribunals, international organizations or public interest organizations that work on issues of public international law.
This internship programme is generously supported by the Planethood Foundation. A significant part of the funds received from the Foundation will be used to fund work which promotes the aims of international criminal justice and transitional justice. However, applications will be welcomed from candidates interested in working in other areas of international law.
The Oxford Global Justice Internship Programme will provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of international law in practical ways. Students will be given the opportunity to develop their interest in international law and will obtain a valuable platform for further work in the area.
It will be the responsibility of applicants to arrange the internship or other work experience they wish to pursue. The Law Faculty will not arrange such work experience. Applicants can apply to the Oxford Global Justice Internship Programme for support enabling them to undertake work experience lasting at least three months.
ELIGIBILITY
All internships are open to current students pursuing a research degree or a taught graduate course in the Law Faculty (BCL/MJur/MSc/MSt/MPhil/DPhil).
In addition, the Oxford Global Justice Internship programme and Bonavero Institute Student Fellowships are open to students currently in the final year of the BA (Jurisprudence) programme as well as to those who have graduated from Oxford Law Faculty (including the BA programme) in the past twelve months in the case of Bonavero Fellowships or the past two years in the case of Oxford Global Justice Internships.
