Internships

The curricular internship is a training experience, included in the study plan of the degree programme, aimed at completing academic education through practical experiences.

What is an internship

Curricular internships are professional learning experiences which allow students to have the opportunity for career development and to learn new skills. Internships grant credits, according to your study plan.

Types of internships included in your Degree Programme

 In this Programme, internships are elective activities.

If you wish to do an Internship, you can choose a 100 hours internship (4 ECTS) or a 150 hours internship (6 ECTS). You can also choose to do a 250 hours internship (6 ECTS + 4 ECTS), by adding both activities to your study plan. In this case, you will still need to set up two internship procedures.

Please note: even if the Internship 1 and Internship 2 are indicated in "Period 1" you can carry them out in a different period.

For more information on how and when to add the internships in your study plan, please refer to the page Preparing the study plan.

You can also add to your study plan one of the following internships:

  • Internship for the preparation of the final dissertation (300 hours - 12 credits)
  • Internship for the preparation abroad of the final dissertation (300 hours - 12 credits)

Carrying out an internship for the preparation of the final examination​, in Italy or abroad, allows you to gain 12 of the 18 credits associated with your dissertation. The aim of such internship has to be consistent with the dissertation topic and agreed with the supervisor.

In this case, once agreed the topic of your dissertation with your supervisor, you can ask the Internship office to add the internship to you career (you can send your request anytime, despite the 2 periods scheduled to change your study plan) sending to the internship office the form you find attached.

When to apply

You can carry out your curricular internship starting from the end of the second semester of the first year (during summer) and during the second year.
