The curricular internship is a learning activity included in the course structure diagrams of the Degree Programmes (DP) to complete university training and to acquire the CFU (credits) laid down in the study plan.
Curricular internship is an elective course unit, it can be performed starting from the academic year in which it is contemplated in the study plan.
Students interested in carrying it out have to:
1. autonomously search a Host Structure where to perform it in reasonable advance
2. put it in their study plan, as explained in the section Preparing the study plan.
HBR students can choose to perform a curricular internship as an alternative to Research on Historic Building M (75467 Internship M in the Course Structure Diagram) and/or an Internship for preparation for the final examination abroad or in Italy (84551 Internship abroad for preparation of the final examination - 86296 Internship for preparation for the final examination in the Course Structure Diagram).
Students can only submit their requests through the internship app at any time of the academic year, according to procedures illustrated in the Handbook for Interns, available in the attachments box.
Internships may be carried out inside and/or outside the University of Bologna, in Italy or abroad.
Host Structures have to be already partnered with the University of Bologna for internships before practical activities start.
Students can go to the internship app or contact the Internship Office in order to know if a Host Structure is already partnered with University for internships. If not, students have to contact the Internships Office of Ravenna Campus at least two months before the starting date of the internship in order to activate the agreement procedure and open a new partnership with the Host Structure.
Internship request at a partnered Host Structure
When students have already an agreement with a partnered Host Structure, they can submit:
- Candidacy A (in reply to an internship offer already published and targeted to him/her).
When students are searching for a Host Structure already partnered with University willing to host them, they can submit:
- Candidacy B (in reply to an internship offer already published and targeted to all students enrolled on one or more degree programmes)
- Self-candidacy (addressed to one or more Host Structures already registered on the internship app);
and wait for a reply.
Internship request at a non-partnered Host Structure
When students have already an agreement with a structure not yet partnered with University for internships, the Host Structure has to register in the internship app to request an internship agreement. Students have to contact the Internships Office of Ravenna Campus at least two months before the starting date of the internship in order to activate the agreement procedure and open a new partnership with the Host Structure.
Once the internship agreement has been finalized, students can apply for internships following the procedure Internship request at a partnered Host Structure.
Internship request at the University of Bologna
When students wish to carry out an internship at the University of Bologna, they first have to contact the Responsible of the Structure (or His/Her Delegate) in order to verify if it possible to perform it.
In the affirmative, after having settled the internship programme in accordance with the Academic Tutor and the Host Structure contact person, students have to submit a request according to the procedure Application for an internship at the University of Bologna.
The duration of the internship is calculated according to the number of credits related to the teaching activity, as laid down in the course structure diagram.
For internships corresponding to 12 CFU = min. 300 hours / max. 360 hours.
Procedures for students are illustrated on the Handbook for Interns, available in the attachments box.

2. The Internship Office checks all data inserted and, in case of positive evaluation, declares it verified.
3. The Academic Tutor verifies the contents of the internship request and, in case of positive evaluation, validates the internship programme.

6. Students can start practical activities only after they have downloaded the attendance register.
Students are insured by the University of Bologna for injuries and against any damage they may cause and against any accident that might involve a third-party that may occur during the internship but only for the period authorized by the Internship Board.
In the event of travel to locations or structures not indicated in the internship programme, it is possible to request an extension of the insurance cover - even during the internship - on condition that the travel concerned is consistent with the objectives and purposes of the internship.

Regular calls are published a few days before the deadline for the satisfaction of graduation requisites, as specified for every Final examination session (It is indeed possible to enrol in any available call on AlmaEsami as soon as the Internship has been completed).
The evaluation is made according to the report and documents uploaded by the student.
