The internship activity is an experience planned to complete your academic education with practical work at companies, public offices or labs within the University of Bologna.
The Degree programme includes:
- internship (compulsory). It allows students to gain 7 credits (CFU) and it is always aimed at writing the final examination. If you are interested in one of the available thesis projects listed in the box "Highlights", please contact the professor in charge to discuss the details
- elective internship of 6 CFU, to be selected at the third year to add extra-credits in your study plan. It can be carried out: in case of a second internship activity, also through international mobility, to extend your compulsory curricular internship or if you want to submit request for the recognition of university credits for working, extra-curricular, other activities
Since 1 CFU = minimum 25 hours/maximum 30 hours, the curricular internship of 7 CFU requires minimum 175/maximum 210 hours of activity.
You can apply for the curricular internship starting from the third Course year, at any time of the A.Y. but you will be allowed to start the activity only from the beginning of the second semester onwards. The academic tutor is always the thesis supervisor.
Please follow the passages below to activate an internship:
The internship cannot be carried out in Host organisations whose legal representative, director or business associate has family ties with the student applicant.
Companies and institutions that concluded an agreement with the University publish their offers on SOL-Internships. You have the possibility to:
- apply to an existing offer
or
- consult the database of partnered companies/institutions in order to send a self-application.
If you need any help to prepare an effective CV, you can contact the Job Placement Service.

You can carry out your internship abroad following one of the two paths listed below:
You must fill in your attendance record book with the hours of attendance, according to the authorized period. You must communicate any variations (ex. suspension, cancellation, etc.) from the approved programme by sending an e-mail to the Internship office with the academic tutor and tutor of the Host organisation in copy c/c.
Should you need to travel to locations not included in the approved programme, you can ask for the extension of the insurance by contacting the academic tutor by e-mail (with the Internship office and tutor of the Host organisation in copy c/c) and wait for the authorization.
During the whole internship period, you are insured against on-work injuries and third-party liability. For further information please consult the Insurance Policy webpage.
The internship, like any other course in your study plan, must be recorded on AlmaEsami.
If you are heading to graduate, please note that the registration of the internship ECTS must be done by the deadline for meeting the requirements for the admission to the degree examination.
In order to have ECTS of the internship recorded by the deadline, you must upload to SOL-Internships the documents required for the completion of the internship at least 10 working days before the due date of fulfilling the requirements.
In any case, after completing the required internship hours, you have to log in to SOL-Internships, enter the date of your last day of attendance at the Host organisation, corresponding to the end date reported on the attendance record book on page 2, and upload the following documents:
Then, you must fill out the internship questionnaire.
If you have carried out more than one internship, you must upload the required documentation for each internship you have done.
After uploading the documentation and completing the questionnaire:
1) the internship office checks the attendance record book
2) the academic tutor evaluates the internship itself
3) the Internship Board records the expected ECTS of the internship on AlmaEsami
