Are you a company or an organization?

Companies and Institutions can accept students from the University of Bologna to carry out the internship activity as planned in their study programme.

Activating an internship does not involve any costs for the company, but the company may offer the intern an allowance or reimbursement of expenses.

In order to host a student as intern, the Company/Institution has to:

• sign an intership agreement with the Univesrity of Bologna. Register your company/institution at Intership Platform https://aziende.unibo.it (please refer to the instructions available in the "Information" box at this page;

Once the intership agreement is signed by both parties, 

• publish a curricular internship offer in the “Offers” section of the Intership Platform. The offer can be targeted to a single student who has already been selected, or to students from one or more Degree Programmes 

or

• search and accept on https://aziende.unibo.it spontaneous applications sent by students.

Usually the signature of the agreement requires one week after the Company has registered in the Intership platform.

Once the company/institution accepts a student application, the internship can usually start after 15 working days.

The duration of a single internship depends on the number of credits required by the single degree to which the student is enrolled (25/30 hours for 1 CFU) and can take place within the period defined on the attendance register.

Therefore if the Programme includes e.g. a 10 credit internship option, it will translate into 250 hours of work.

The University of Bologna offers insurance cover for on-work injuries and third-party liability exclusively within the approved period indicated in the attendance record book.

For further information please consult the Insurance Policy webpage.  

Should the student need to travel to locations not included in the approved programme, the student can ask for the extension of the insurance by contacting the Academic Tutor by mail (with the Internship Office and Tutor at the Host Institution in copy c/c) and wait for the authorization.

After completing the working hours of the internship, the contact person at the host organization should

1. sign the student’s attendance sheet to confirm the working hours and period of the internship;
2. fill out the questionnaire at the end of the internship, that you will find online after you upload your attendance sheet.
