IAESTE 2027will be open from 7th December 2026 onwards. The orientation shall be on MsTeams (tentatively on 20th January 2027)

 

Stage 1: Online Registration

• Action: Fill out the online registration form accurately.
• Crucial Rule: You must use your university email ID for all correspondence.
• Next Step: Watch for a confirmation email (and check your spam/junk folder just in case).

Stage 2: Submission of Documents

 

• The Ticket: You will receive a Unique Code via email within 2–3 working days of registering.
• Upload: Use this Unique Code to log in and gradually build your profile by uploading high-quality documents.
• The Catch: You must meet all eligibility criteria perfectly. Missing criteria means instant exclusion. Format templates are provided during this stage.

 

Stage 3: Offers & Nomination

Once your profile is ready, use your Unique Code to upload your Cover Letter and Nomination Form to apply for open positions.

There are two types of internships available:

• Exchange Internships (Exclusive): Reserved only for IAESTE UAE students. These go live in early February (right after the annual late-January conference).
• Global Internship Offers (Global): Open to applicants worldwide.

Note: If an offer is marked "Closed," it means a nominee was already chosen or the deadline passed.

💳 The Golden Rule: 1 Offer = 1 Nomination

IAESTE operates on a strict first-come, first-served matching system. One offer gets exactly one nominee. As soon as a perfect match is found, that offer closes permanently.

If you are selected as the nominee, you must act fast:

• Fee: AED 315.00 (including VAT).
• Deadline: Within 24 hours of receiving the email payment link.
• Penalty: Missing the 24-hour window means the opportunity is immediately given to someone else.

How Candidates Are Evaluated

When deciding who gets nominated, IAESTE UAE evaluates you based on these key pillars:

• Academics & Skills: Your CGPA, Resume, and Language proficiency.

• Application Quality: A compelling Cover Letter and fully completed, high-quality documents.

• Intangibles: Your personality, commitment level, and whether you are a first-time applicant (which is a plus!).

• Logistics: Your nationality (strictly for visa feasibility in the host country).
