BRAC Regular Internship Programme 2026: Three-Month Opportunities for Graduate and Postgraduate Students
Overview
BRAC's Regular Internship Programme offers graduate and postgraduate students a three-month placement in one of the world's major development organisations. BRAC was founded in Bangladesh in 1972 and works with communities facing inequality and poverty across Asia and Africa, in areas including social development, financial inclusion, humanitarian response, education, health, migration and social enterprises. Interns apply academic knowledge to practical work in different functional areas, with a mix of office and project exposure, and the organisation describes the internship as a possible pathway toward future careers at BRAC without guaranteeing employment.
