Internships

MDAC has numerous internship opportunities for students and graduates from across the globe. Our opportunities give interns the unique experience of working with an international human rights organisation that is dedicated to advancing the rights of people with disabilities. Specifically, interns are educated about the issues surrounding people living with disabilities, ultimately learning skills necessary to help promote equality and social inclusion. Interns receive direct supervision by one or more MDAC expert staff members, and spend time at MDAC, a fast-paced and cosmopolitan organisation with offices in the heart of Budapest, one of Europe's most captivating and historical cities.

Current and past interns have worked with MDAC in areas such as litigation, employment rights, training development, and international standards. We accept applications and interns throughout the year. To read what past interns have to say about their time at MDAC click here.
