What is an internship
Internship is an experience aimed at introducing students to work or research within a public or private organization. It offers students the opportunity to observe and understand the labour market, and to put into practice skills and knowledge acquired during their training.
Internship activities are supervised by both an academic tutor and a mentor from the hosting institution, and are held according to a predefined internship program.

PROCEDURES TO START AN INTERNSHIP:
Students before starting their internship (of all types) must explore the Department webpage on Internship and comply with the General Rules for the Internship
Students must also comply with the following Additional Rules for the Internship (specific to the Program):
- An Internship held in an international context is mandatory for students enrolled in Economics and Entrepreneurship.
- It must last at least 300 hours (and accounts for 12 credits) for students firstly enrolled in the academic yeas from 2022/2023 to 2026/2027 and at least 225 hours (9 credits) for students firstly enrolled in the academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022.

Some exceptions can be allowed exclusively on the company/organization request and on the basis of the specific task/working activity to be carried out.
