The section´s Fellowship Programmes consist of intensive courses covering training periods ranging from 3 weeks to 7 months. They take place annually, and participation is based on a competitive selection process.

Currently, fellowships are offered in three distinct areas, namely:

• International Law (ILP, 6 weeks, in English in one year/in French the next)
  
  
• International Civil Service (ICS, 7 months, French)
  

• Regional Fellowship Programmes

Fellowships are open to junior to mid-level diplomats, government officers, teachers of international law and international relations as well as to NGO representatives. Age limits apply to each Programme.

Fellowships are available to applicants from developing and least developed countries as well as from countries with economies in transition. Participants from other countries can apply to participate on a cost-covering (ILP) or fee-paying basis (IAM).

Information on these fellowships (including course brochures and application forms) is disseminated via permanent missions, UNDP country offices, some specialized ministries, universities, United Nations Information Centres as well as our alumni network.

Respective background information, application forms and reports of previous Fellowship programmes, and answers to frequently asked questions are available on this website.
