Request for the recognition of university credits for working, extra-curricular, other activities

How to submit your request

If you already have carried out a work or internship experience that is consistent with the subjects and goals of your Degree programme, you may apply for its recognition as a curricular internship.

You may submit your request anytime in the academic year, as long as:

• the activity is consistent, in its contents and aims, with your Degree programme;
• you have included the relevant internship option in your study plan before submitting the request of recognition.

The maximum number of credits that can be recognised from external working activities is 12, nevertheless with reference to the Internship included in the study plan.

To apply for recognition please submit the following documents (available in the attachment box of this page) to the Student Administration Office:

• The recognition request form;
• The certificate of working activity: a document, signed by your employer/internship contact person, specifying your position in the host organisation.
• A brief report where you sum up your activities as an intern;

The documents must be sent (by post) to Political Sciences - Student Administration Office/Segreteria Studenti  Scienze Politiche (see address in the contact section)  Alternatively, you may arrange an appointment to hand in the documents in person (please refer to the contact information in this page). At present, it is not possible to send the documents by e-mail.

The recognition request will be examined by your Degree Programme Board, in agreement with the Internship Board. In case of positive evaluation, within 60 days after submitting your request the Students Administration Office will inform you and update your student records.                                                                

IMPORTANT

• If you are applying for the recognition of an external working activity and you are about to graduate, please consider the deadline by which all credits must be registered.
• As any credits in your records, those coming from this recognition do count towards the evaluation of merit, if you are applying for the calculation of your tuition fees according to economic status and merit.
• You may not ask for the recognition of working activities in a host organisation whose legal manager, member or director/supervisor/person in charge has family bonds (up to the 2nd degree of kinship) with you.
• You cannot submit a request for the recognition of external working activities if they have been previously recognised by University.
