OWRC Open – Summer Quarter 2019

Aga Khan University –

Through a partnership with UW’s Population Health initiative, Aga Khan University makes international internships available to UW students.  Applications for 16 internships that start in Spring 2020 are being accepted until July 15.

Details of all internships can be found here.

Selected interns will receive monthly living stipend, shared accommodation (furnished apartments) and reimbursement of pre-arrival medical check-ups and internship visa cost. Please note that the selected intern will be responsible for purchasing their return ticket, travel and health insurance.

Application period: Apply by July 15

Applicants must complete TWO separate applications as part of this process. They should be submitted at the same time:

1. Internship application directly to AKU (apply here)
2. ‘Independent Learning’ application to UW Study Abroad (apply here) to maintain enrollment at UW during the internship

Interview dates:July 22 to August 2
Final intern selection: August 12 (if selected you must follow the UW’s Student International Travel Policy)
Placement start date: January 20, 2020 (*subject to internship pass approval)

If accepted into an AKU internship you must maintain your status as a student at the University of Washington for the duration of your placement by enrolling in Independent Learning through UW Study Abroad. The fee for Independent Learning is $350 per quarter which includes registration for up to 12 credits. As part of Independent Learning students will register their travel and purchase the UW Student Abroad Insurance before departure and for the duration of their placement. Students applying for internships in high-risk destinations (as defined by the U.S. State Department) will be prompted by UW to submit a travel waiver request.

Students applying for internships in Karachi, Pakistan will have their travel waiver request reviewed by ITRASC, the UW’s travel risk and safety committee. The likelihood of approval will depend on the applicant’s familiarity with Pakistan. The committee will consider factors including, but not limited to, extended periods of residence in Pakistan and knowledge of Urdu. The UW’s Global Travel Security manager will contact applicants to Karachi positions for an initial assessment of their suitability for internships in Pakistan.

The University reserves the right to cancel or alter, at any time, any international program, internship or activity when, based on a review of the relevant information and resources, it is determined that there is undue risk to the health and safety of students in a particular destination.

• Questions about the specifics of individual internships should be directed to the AKU Programme Coordinator at aku.iip@aku.edu.
• Questions about UW policies and procedures related to Independent Learning or the Student International Travel Policy should be directed to studyabroad@uw.edu.
