Second Cycle Degree/Two Year Master in Chemical and Process Engineering

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

ChatGPT ha detto:

If you have carried out a working/extra-curricular activity, or an experience outside the University, consistent with the Degree Programme learning outcomes, you can ask for the recognition of such activities as curricular internship (internship and/or internship for the preparation of the final examination).

In order to make sure such activity is in line with the learning outcomes of your Programme and will be therefore recognized once completed, it is necessary to inform the Coordinator of your study course, the Head of the Internship Board, your thesis supervisor (internship for the preparation of the final examination) and get a prior approval.

You can submit a request for recognition whenever you want as long as two conditions are satisfied:

-the request is made in the academic year which includes the internship activity;

-the internship activity must be entered in the study plan.

Each CFU corresponds to min. 25 and max. 30 hours of activity.

In order to apply for recognition you must submit to the Student Administration Office:

1) application form for recognition of extracurricular activities;   

2) declaration of performed activities issued by the host organisation;

3) report on the activities carried out arranged by the student;

4) a declaration of the end of activities issued by the Thesis Supervisor, certifying that the activity performed fits within the thesis project. Such documents, duly filled and signed, must be sent by registered mail with return receipt or handed by appointment to be agreed.

The request will be evaluated by the Degree Programme, in accordance with the Internship Board, and sent to the Student Administration Office. The office will register the activity in the student's career within 60 days from the submission of the request.

IMPORTANT!                                                                      

- If you are about to graduate, please keep in mind there is a final deadline to have all credits registered (those coming from the recognition too).

- the credits recognised can impact the examination of the merit requirements to obtain the total exemption or the calculation of the student contribution based on economic status and merit..

- You can’t submit request for extracurricular activities already recognised by University.

Degree Programme Specific Guidelines

The assessment of requests for the recognition of work or extra-university activities in lieu of an internship within the Second Cycle Degree Programme in Chemical and Process Engineering requires, in addition to the requirements set out in the University General Procedure described in the prevoius section, compliance with the following provisions:

  1. Preliminary interview with the Internship Committee. Before starting the activity for which recognition is to be requested, the student must attend an interview with the Internship Committee. The purpose of the interview is to assess whether the planned work or extra-university activities are consistent with the learning objectives and competencies of the Degree Programme.
  2. Appointment of an academic tutor. The student must identify, with the support of the Internship Committee where necessary, a faculty member of the Degree Programme who will act as academic tutor for the activities for which recognition is being requested.
  3. Extended report on the activities carried out. When submitting the request for recognition, the student must provide, in addition to the documentation required under the University General Procedure, a final report of approximately 2000 words, excluding images, prepared using the template provided by the Degree Programme (docx, available in the Attachments section). The report must describe the activities carried out, with particular emphasis on the skills and competencies acquired and their relevance to the learning outcomes of the Second Cycle Degree in Chemical and Process Engineering.
  4. Statement from the academic tutor. The request must also include a statement from the appointed academic tutor certifying that the activities carried out are suitable for the recognition of internship credits. The statement must cover all internships for which recognition is being requested and not only any internship undertaken in preparation for the final examination.

 

IMPORTANT

The requirements listed above constitute additional requirements specific of the Degree Programme and must always be fulfilled together with the provisions set out in the University of Bologna General Procedure described on this page. They do not replace or amend the documentation and requirements established by the University.
