Internships are learning activities that allow students to obtain credits contemplated in the course structure diagram of their degree programme, which also allow to acquire practical skills and add experience to your University education.
Internships are carried out on the basis of an agreement between the University of Bologna and the Hosting Structure (company, public body, professional firm etc.) and an internship programme signed by the parties concerned.
