This sounds like an incredible opportunity for anyone wanting to dive into international police cooperation! I’m really intrigued by the possibility of internships in areas like communications or strategic planning at INTERPOL. Do you know if having a background in a specific field like criminology or international relations makes an application stronger, or is it more about the motivation and experience you bring to the role?

I think both degrees mentioned could support an applicant when applying to their role. I think experience in teamwork, problem solving and working cross-culturally is also essential.

Languages are a great way to standout due to the international working environment, but it is also important to highlight why you are motivated to solve crime on an international level and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills.
