Thesis preparation project

The Internship for Preparation for the Final Exam is not a mandatory internship: it is possible that sufficient data and information for the thesis have already been collected during curricular internships and TPVs.

However, if it is deemed appropriate to arrange an additional internship experience – beyond the curricular internships and TPVs required by the Degree Program – with the specific aim of collecting data and information for writing the thesis, it will be necessary to carry out an Internship for Preparation for the Final Examination.

"To enroll in the Internship for Preparation for the Final Exam, it is necessary to:

• be up to date with the payment of tuition fees for the academic year in which you intend to start the internship;

• have started or completed attendance of the second semester of the 5th year of the program;

• have completed the mandatory training activities on health and safety and hold a valid certificate of fitness for the specific task.

Registration

To carry out the Internship in Preparation for the Final Exam, you must fill out the “Thesis Training Project” form on your computer, using the format "Progetto formativo per Tesi_U.O."  for thesis training to be carried out in the hospital or "Progetto formativo per Tesi_Laboratorio/Istituto" in laboratories or departmental institutes, which can be downloaded from the “Attachments” section.

Once the form is completed, it must be signed by the following:

• the thesis supervisor;

• the director of the operating unit (U.O.)/laboratory/institution where the internship will take place;

• the intern.

The signature of the Academic Tutor is not required at this stage.
The completed and signed form must be scanned vertically across the sheet, saved in a single .pdf file  and sent as an attachement mail at least 15 days before the planned start date of the internship to the email address: sam.serviziaglistudenti@unibo.it

The relevant office will check that the document is correctly completed, forward it for the Academic Tutor's signature, and return a copy of the fully signed document to the student. Only once this signed copy has been received can the internship begin on the scheduled date.

On the first day of the internship, it is the intern’s responsibility to deliver a copy of the fully signed Thesis Training Project to the host institution.

Academic record

At the end of the internship, the host institution must provide the intern with a Certificate of Attendance (available in the “Attachments” section), indicating:

• the total number of hours completed by the student during the internship;

• the consistency between the activities planned in the “Training and Orientation Project” and those actually carried out.

It is the intern’s responsibility to submit the certificate, within the deadline required to meet the graduation eligibility criteria, to the following email address: sam.serviziaglistudenti@unibo.it

After the competent office has verified the consistency of the total number of hours completed, the relevant training activity will be recorded in the student’s academic career.
