An internship allows you to carry out activities in organizations or companies, in order to add a complementary practical experience to your University education.
Internships are carried out on the basis of an agreement between the University of Bologna and the Host Structure (company, public body, professional firm etc.) and an internship programme signed by the parties concerned.
DHDK academic tutor is Prof. Fabio Tamburini.
For both internship typologies, you can submit your internship request:
The request for the Internship for Preparation for the Final Examination can be submitted exclusively from your second year, after having selected the internship in your study plan. You are required to first have already defined the main subject of your final examination with your supervisor who will follow your activities during the internship. You also have to ask your supervisor to write an email in which he/she approves your internship activities, you'll have to upload it together with your curriculum vitae during the online application procedure.
To learn more about the open windows of your study plan, see also: Preparing the study plan.
First, prepare an effective CV and a cover letter. You can follow University guidance services about how to write effective CVs and targeted cover letters as well as job interview simulations in Job Placement.
