    1. Hi, Ani,

      I quite don't understand what you are asking about. You don't have to pay for learning, on the contrary, (it is stated that) if chosen, the IMF will grant a competitive salary.

      Best,

  6. Hi,

    I am very interested with the IMF, and would like to do an internship there.

    However, i have yet to complete my bachelor, does the IMF not offer any undergraduate internships at all?

    kind regards,

    1. Dear Rudger,

      This internship opportunity is for students at a graduate level. If you want to know if the IMF offers internship opportunities for undergraduate students, well it's best you ask them.
