New Internship Program in Mauritius |
Friday, 03 February 2012 |
AGS now offers a humanitarian internship program every summer in Mauritius, off the East coast of the African continent. Thanks to a newly signed partnership with the Rushmore Business School, located South of the capital Port Louis, students enrolled in the M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy at AGS have the opportunity to participate in a 10-week long internship from mid-June to end-of-August on the Mauritius Island. This internship can be counted for credit towards the AGS degree. Internship placements are in NGOs, governmental or intergovernmental organizations in the humanitarian sector. Examples of possible internship placements are: Amnesty International (field work), Human Rights Commission (office work), American Embassy (office work), United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), Red Cross, United National Association of Mauritius (Mauritius branch of the World Federation of United Nations), Mauritius Council of Social Service (MACOSS - umbrella organizations of several NGOs), and others. |

Sir Christopher MacRae United Kingdom I aim to help my students prepare for life beyond "the groves of academe" - especially how to ask the right questions to work out what is really going on out there. Along the way, they practice writing lucidly and succinctly. It is stimulating teaching such a lively crew. I hope they also find it fun being challenged to analyse the facts without prejudice and to think originally. |
