The internship consists of a qualifying activity from a technical and professional point of view, which the student carries out in internal or external structures that have an agreement with the University, with the supervision of a tutor internal to the structure that has an agreement. The aim of the internship activity is to relate the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course of studies with the applicative aspects specifically linked to the professionalism formed during the degree course to begin working alongside professionals who are experts in the sector. Relations with extra-university structures suitable for hosting student interns (companies, public and private bodies, trade associations, voluntary associations, social cooperatives) are regulated by specific agreements. Relations with internal structures of the University are regulated by agreements with the manager of the structure. The agreements and arrangements are stipulated in compliance with the General Regulations for the performance of supplementary teaching activities and the standard agreement scheme approved by the Academic Bodies of the University.
