UNN-IAESTE Collaboration

University of Nigeria Nsukka, and IAESTE Agree to Explore Collaboration on Research Students Exchange

UNN and the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) have decided to explore collaboration towards enhancing the technical and professional development of the University’s students.

The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) is an international research and cultural exchange organization with partner agencies in 90 countries in the world.  One of the aims of the organization is to provide students in higher education who are undergraduates or fresh postgraduates with paid industrial and technical training experience in a university or a company abroad for a period of between 2 to 12 months.

Each year “work offer” (i.e. research/training positions) are exchanged with member-countries and co-operating institutions via an international exchange conference mainly on a reciprocal basis.  For the 2020 IAESTE exchange cycle, all prospective students on compulsory industrial training (i.e. 300 and 400 level) should proceed and register on the IAESTE portal, iaeste.net or contact nigeria@iaeste.org in order to benefit from the exchange programme.

The IAESTE Student Registration is meant to guide prospective students with necessary information about IAESTE application. You can download the application form here.
