Acknowledgement of an extra-university activity as a curricular internship

General Information

If you carried out an extra-university activity that you think is consistent with the subjects and goals of your Degree Programme, you may ask for its acknowledgement as a curricular internship.

The activity could be:

• A working activity: a subordinate or parasubordinated work relationship
• Civil Service
• Volunteering at institutions authorized to host volunteers (see DECRETO LEGISLATIVO 3 luglio 2017, n. 112) 

It is possible to submit a request for recognition at any time of the year, regardless of the existence of an agreement between the university and the host organisation where the extra-university activity was carried out.

If the placement for which recognition is sought is optional, you must include it in your study plan before submitting your request. 

The activity carried out must be at least equal to the number of hours corresponding to the internship credits in your study plan; for example, if you have a 6 cfu internship in your study plan, you must have carried out an activity lasting at least 150 hours. Partial recognition is not permitted.

The maximum number of CFUs that may be recognised for curricular traineeships is 12.

How to submit your acknowledgement request

To apply for recognition you must submit to the Student Administration Office, Via Marsala 49/A (40126) Bologna: 

1. Request for recognition with revenue stamp, completed and signed (available in the ‘Attachments’ box); 
2. Certificate of activity carried out issued by the Host Organisation on headed notepaper, with original stamp and signature of the person responsible (available in the ‘Enclosures’ box), which must include the following information:

• The working/volunteering relationship 
• The tasks carried out with an indication of the way they were carried out in terms of commitment, responsibility, autonomy of the student

The documentation (which can be sent in advance by e-mail to segstudiumanistici@unibo.it) must be sent by post to the Student Administration Office in Via Marsala 49/A (40126) Bologna. It is possible to make an appointment for hand delivery (find in the ‘contacts’ box, on the right, the times, e-mail and address of the Student Administration Office).  

Outcome of the request

Your request will be examined by your Degree Programme Board, in agreement with the Internship Board.

The outcome of the evaluation will be communicated by the Student Administration Office within 60 days and, in case of positive evaluation, your career will be updated.

IMPORTANT

• Undergraduates interested in applying for recognition are invited to take into account the deadline for meeting the entry requirements for the degree examination.
• Recognition of credits may have an effect on the verification of merit requirements to obtain total exemption or the calculation of student contributions on the basis of financial status and merit.
• You cannot apply for recognition for curricular or extracurricular activities that have already been recognised.
