Research Internships in Africa
If you’re looking for a research internship abroad, we have some exciting opportunities for you. We facilitate customised research projects with a wide range of academic focus areas. We will work with you to design a research internship that has your desired focus and learning outcomes, and you’ll be doing your research with a nonprofit organisation, focusing on their cause-driven agenda. It’s a great opportunity to do innovative research in an international, nonprofit context.
Wildlife Research Internships
If it’s a wildlife focus you’re interested in, you can join us in Victoria Falls for some exciting field research into a variety of animals, including elephants, lions, and giraffes. You’ll be based in a stunning national park by the banks of the Zambezi River, allowing for a great African adventure.
Communications Research Internships
We regularly host communications students who need to do a research thesis or product design as part of their degree. These internships can usually be done remotely, and they can focus on areas such as market research, communications strategies, specific communications or fundraising campaigns, branding, or visual media. The exact focus of the research will depend on the organisation’s need, requirements from your university, and your personal interests and skills.
