SUD Internship: Be Bold
Bold choices shape the bold leaders of tomorrow

Don’t take the obvious path. Choose a SUD Internship.
We’re looking for bold students. Students who dare to choose differently. Who go beyond what’s expected and take on challenges outside the mainstream. Are you one of them? Choose a SUD Internship. It’s not the obvious path: it’s the one that sets you apart.
The SUD Internship is a 12-week internship program. You’ll work on impact consulting or legal pro bono projects in countries around the world, mainly in the Global South, where you can apply your knowledge and make a positive impact on the ground. This is not volunteering; these are real professional internships that will count toward ECTS credits on your academic record and add a distinctive life experience to your resume.
Choose a track that will shape your story
It’s not just what you do, but who you want to become. Bold choices help you stand out. Whatever path you pursue, whether in finance, consulting, law, global governance, or entrepreneurship, you will bring something recruiters can’t ignore: real experience in demanding international settings, sound judgment, and perspective.
The first step is simple: enroll in the Global Justice in Action elective
This course opens the door to a distinctive track, designed for students who are curious, open-minded, and driven to have an impact. The first step doesn’t lock you in; it gives you options. Additionally, if Social Track is a requirement for your degree, by taking the Global Justice in Action course will obtain 3 ECTS credits for the Social Track.
Brave in your choices. Outstanding in your growth.
Dual professional experience
You can do two internships: a SUD Internship in the summer, plus another internship during the academic year (optional).
Additional training
Before you travel, you’ll take two electives that give you a broader view of the world and prepare you to lead your consulting project.
Work on purpose-driven projects
From building a marketing plan to creating a business plan for a new service or analyzing the impact of an educational project or legally defending the rights of vulnerable groups. Projects connect directly to what you study.
Impact in the real world
Your work won’t stay on paper; it will make a real difference in the community where your project takes place.
A distinctive track
A SUD Internship doesn’t take you off track from your career goals; it strengthens your profile. Our students go on to work at companies like Meta, World Bank, JP Morgan, Cuatrecasas and McKinsey, or launch their own startups. Ask them.
A ‘culture add’ profile
More and more leading organizations are changing how they hire. They’re not just looking for people who fit in; they want people who bring new perspectives and add value, known as culture add, instead of standard profiles, known as culture fit.
A unique opportunity
University is the right time to do this. Once you start working, your focus will shift to growing within a company, moving into new roles, or building your own project. Now is the time!
