How to activate an internal or external internship in Italy

In compliance with all the indications for the activation of an internship described in the sections Internship, STEM students need to follow the further indications reported below.

 

Internal internship: further indications

Students interested in performing an internship at DICAM (Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering Department) or other departments of the University of Bologna must, in this order:

1) first, identify a professor available for the role of academic tutor for the internship and arrange the learning outcomes, activities, manner, and times of development of the internship.

2) apply for the internship through the Internship application before starting the activity. After applying and before the activity starts, the student must wait for the the University to authorize him/her to start the activity and provide the documentation needed. It is not possible to start the internship before having received the authorization.

3) in case the internship is performed within DICAM Department, after having received communication of the approval of the internship, the student must complete the access procedures at DICAM

 

Internship (internal or external in Italy) performed in continuity with the Internship for final examination: further indications

The following indications apply to students enrolled starting from the academic year 2018/2019, that satisfy the conditions listed below:

  1. Having in the study plan the elective activity 75385 - Internship (6 CFU);
  2. Intention to perform the 6 CFU-internship in continuity with the 12 CFU-internship for preparation for the final examination (AF 86296), which means performing an internship activity of a total amount of 18 CFU (450 h) aimed at preparing the final thesis in a internal or external host structure (e.g. a company or a university department);
  3. Having agreed upon the execution of the internships with a referent of the host structure and a professor that serves as academic tutor.

What to do with your study plan

Insert the learning activity 75385 - Internship (6 CFU) among the elective courses in the opening time frame of the study plan.

It is not recommended, for technical reasons, to proceed autonomously with the “unpacking” of the final exam. It is recommended instead to leave, as final exam activity (type E), the learning activity 60750 “Final examination” (18 CFU).

The “unpacking” of the learning activity 60750 “Final examination” (18 CFU) – that is its replacement with the two learning activities 86296 - Internship for Preparation for the final examination (12 CFU) and 86300 – Final examination (6 CFU) - will be executed by the Internship Office simultaneously with the activation of the Internship. Indeed, with regards to the internship for the final examination only, if the student makes his/her decision outside of the opening time frames, he/she can still update the study plan by sending an email to ingarc.tirocini.bo@unibo.it, with the following subject: “Variation of the study plan: internship for final examination + name + surname”, communicating the teaching code and the exact name of the learning activity showed in the Course Structure Diagram.

Notice that the internship activity, whether it is type D, F or E, needs to be registered by the deadline established by the Administration Office for the relevant Graduation session (“deadline for requisite”). Instead type-E learning activities classified as “Final examination” are registered simultaneously with the discussion of the degree thesis, so they do not require a previous registration.

Internship activation

If the procedure on the Internship application is started by the host structure, the host structure must insert 2 different offers ad personam for the selected student; instead, if the procedure is started by the student, the student submits 2 internship requests.

In order to simplify the bureaucratic aspect, we recommend that:

- the two offers (or requests) are submitted on the internship application simultaneously, one after the other

- the two offers (or requests) show the same object, objectives and activity, and differ only for the internship period

- As for the first offer (or request), in the field related to the object, objectives, activities, you must write “(Part 1/2)” at the end of the entered text ;

- As for the second offer (or request), in the fields related to the object, objectives, activities you must write “(Part 2/2)” at the end of the entered text  .

- as for the internship period, the starting date of the second offer (or request) should be 6 weeks after the first one;

- Both the activities should end within 12 months after the corresponding starting date.
