Internships are calling ?? join us for the 2025 fall semester “I was so nervous when leaving Denmark behind for six months, but it was the best thing I did for myself!” – Emma, previous intern in Toronto.

We asked our previous interns, Anne Sophie, Emma, Benjamin, and Sara about their six months with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark in North America, and where the internship has taken them in their current careers. An internship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can lead to many different places. No intern is the same, and neither are their paths moving forward.
