The internship activity is an experience intended to complete your academic education with practical work at companies, public offices or structures within the University of Bologna.
The Degree programme includes:
- Internship for the preparation of the final examination (elective). It allows students to complete a scientific project at a research laboratory or at a company/institution and to gain 37 University educational credits (CFU). Otherwise, you can choose two different Internship for the preparation of the final examination (elective): one of 12 CFU and one of 25 CFU.
Since 1 CFU = minimum 25 hours/maximum 30 hours, the internship of 12 CFU requires minimum 300/maximum 260 hours of activity, internship of 25 CFU requires minimum 625/maximum 750 hours of activity and internship of 37 CFU requires minimum 925/maximum 1110 of activity.
