In most cases, a university degree is required to work for
the United Nations (UN). The specific educational requirements will depend on
the job requirements and level of the position, but generally, a bachelor's
degree is the minimum educational requirement for most entry-level positions.
In addition to a university degree, UN positions typically
require a combination of relevant work experience, language skills, and other
qualifications. Depending on the position, a master's degree or other advanced
degree may be required or preferred.
That being said, there are some exceptions to this
requirement. In certain cases, relevant work experience or specialized skills
may be considered in lieu of a university degree. Additionally, UN Volunteer
positions may have different educational requirements and may be open to
individuals with a range of educational backgrounds. Carefully review the
specific job requirements for any UN position you are interested in and ensure
that you meet the necessary qualifications before applying.
