Internships

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.

1) Museum Stage, Heritage Stage (1) (LM) (150 hours);

2) Internship Abroad to Prepare for the Final Examination (6 CFU) (LM) (150 hours)

ACRA Internship Committee (choose one of them):

• prof. Andrea Gaucci - andrea.gaucci3@unibo.it
• prof. Federica Boschi - federica.boschi5@unibo.it
• prof. Francesco Iacono - francesco.iacono5@unibo.it

You can submit your request for the internship Abroad to Prepare the Final Examination starting from your second year and select the internship in your Study Plan.

For your Internship Abroad to Prepare for the Final Examination you are required to have already defined the main subject of your final examination with your Supervisor who will follow your activities during the internship.

Ask your Supervisor to write an email in which he/she approves your internship activities. Upload it together with your curriculum vitae/cover letter during the online internship application procedure. For an effective cv/cover letter please, check Job Placement.

Check and apply for the internship vacancies published by the Hosting Institution having already signed an internship agreement with the University of Bologna on SOL-Internships.
