The AIIB Global Internship Program places students and recent graduates inside the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a multilateral development bank headquartered in Beijing that finances sustainable infrastructure across Asia and beyond. Interns join one of two tracks — a corporate internship built around project-based operational work (individually or in small teams), or a research/academic internship focused on specialized, research-intensive projects. The program is open to candidates of any citizenship who are enrolled in, or have recently graduated from, a master’s or doctoral program. Onboarding for the 2026 cycle offered start dates of May 18, June 1, or June 29, 2026.
