Who can apply?
The MPIIB-ISI program is specifically designed for motivated students who are constrained by personal, financial, regional or societal issues that negatively affect their future education.
The internship is open to students who:
- Are enrolled in a university. Without enrollment, it is not possible to obtain a visa.
- Students who have not yet received their Bachelor’s degree must have completed at least 4 semesters (i.e. 2 years) of their studies at the time of application.
- Have a strong academic record.
- Have a background in a field relevant to the proposed projects (e.g. biology, medicine, biochemistry, epidemiology or any other related field).
- Have a good command of the English language.
- Can express their motivation for both the internship program and the specific project they are applying for.
- Have strong reasons why their access to first-class higher education is constrained.
- Are available for the entire duration of the internship between August 1 and October 31, 2026 (due to visa regulations you cannot extend your stay in the country beyond the duration of the internship).
- Are doing a voluntary internship. We cannot accept interns who need credit points as part of their course requirements.
