The internship is a training activity aimed at completing University education through practical experiences with companies, translation and event management agencies, NGOs and other organizations, in Italy or abroad.
Internships cannot be carried out at a Hosting institution where the legal representative, the cooperation partner or the responsible manager in charge has family ties or affinity within the 2nd degree with the interested student.
Curricular internships are overseen by the Internship Committee and managed through the curricular internship website, where students apply.
From August 2025, 9 to 16, the University offices will be closed. During this closure period, in case you have an accident during your curricular internship, do not contact the internship office. Instead, write to: infortuni.tirocini@unibo.it
The support service will reply to assist you and provide instructions on how and which documents to submit.
Internships may be carried out within or outside of University structures, either in Italy or abroad.
To choose where to carry out the internship, you can consult the list of structures that hold agreements with the University and/or internship offers already published on Tirocini online.
If none of the offers meet your interest, you submit your own proposal and, if approved, ask the company/institution to publish an offer addressed to you (known as “ad personam” offer), via the University's internship application. If the company/institution does not already have an agreement with the University, an agreement may be stipulated.
Please, note that:
Compulsory online courses on health and safety must be completed (modules 1 and 2) before the internship
Students can request an internship solely via the Tirocini online application.
Once you have identified the company/institution in which you wish to carry out the internship, you need to agree on your learning objectives and activities, the time lines to achieve them and all other details required to complete the internship programme with your University Tutor and with the Host Contact Person.
Once all internship details have been defined, you will be able to submit your internship application online.
Applications will be submitted to the competent Internship Committee, which must authorize their activation. Students must download their attendance register before commencing their Internship.
The Internship can be carried out in the period in between the start and end dates shown on the attendance register.
During the internship, you must keep in contact with your University Tutor, to whom you can refer to for any support or advice you may need on how to carry out your activities, and you must record your daily activities in the attendance register.
The Internship hours must be recorded during the period between the start and end dates shown on the attendance register.
Before leaving the company/institution, make sure that the attendance register is countersigned by the Host Contact Person.
Students who carry out their curricular internship during an exam session take the exam and make up lost hours with the company later.
If you intend to withdraw from or interrupt your internship for reasons that do not allow further continuation, you must notify the office below, stating your reasons to the Internships office.
At the end of the internship, you must fill in the questionnaire and upload it to the curricular internship website along with the attendance register, which was previously filled in, stamped and signed by the company’s tutor. The company fills in the questionnaire on the curricular internship website. Your University Tutor verifies and marks the attendance register. The internship is recorded and the procedures closed.
The University of Bologna guarantees insurance cover for students against accidents at work and third-party liability claims. These policies are written by insurance companies that specialize in the sector.
In the event of travel to locations or companies not indicated in the approved curricula internship programme, you can request an extension of the insurance cover - including during the internship - on condition that the travel concerned is consistent with the objectives of the internship.
Online courses on health and safety are compulsory for all students
If you have already carried out extra-university activities (for example working activities) and you wish to get recognized them as an internship, please read the information about “recognition of extra-university activities” in the reference box.
