BSc in Environmental Studies
In the heart of Thailand, do your internship in environmental conservation. This is an opportunity to gain university credits while having a positive and lasting impact on the local ecosystem. The project takes place in the province of Phang Nga, on the coast. An awareness-raising and teaching assignment is also included in the environment and sustainability development course, in order to promote environmental conservation and reinforce the impact of the project on local communities.
Create a positive impact by participating in the conservation of Phang Nga’s coastal ecosystem. With this internship on the environment and sustainable development, gain solid field experience, supervised by experts and environmentalists. This way, you will optimise your practical and environmental knowledge in the heart of the beautiful landscapes of the coastal province of Phang Nga, whose surroundings abound in wildlife. Like all of our environmental internship programs, the environmental conservation project in Thailand allows students to gain university credits while making a lasting impact on the region’s ecosystem.
It includes a more in-depth follow-up with a theoretical part that adds to the practical experience in the field. In addition to receiving the necessary ECTS credits to validate your year, at the end of the program you will obtain an international certification recognised and delivered by the University of Richmond, in the United States. You will have two online course modules to complete before the field mission, to prepare you for the project. During but also after the internship, you will benefit from professional support: a specialised internship supervisor will monitor your work and give you a final evaluation, and you will benefit from access to a portal of job offers in NGOs as well as a recommendation from your internship supervisor on LinkedIn.

They act in collaboration with local populations and national governments.
As a non-profit organisation, our conservation project is completely transparent. The volunteer contribution is used to cover the planning of projects on the reserve (reconnaissance, team recruitment and logistical support), direct field costs (transportation, lodging, staff meals) and finally to support the project itself. Without the physical and financial help of the volunteers, this project would not have been possible.
