The internship represents a fundamental and essential element for the acquisition of the contents of the professional discipline, in the constant relationship between theoretical-scientific learning and the elements of knowledge and skills drawn from concrete experience. The internship also represents a training activity aimed at a more effective and positive insertion in the work contexts of the services present in the territory.
The internship is governed by Art. 9 of the Single Regulations of the Course of Study (see “Extract from the Single Regulations”).

The internship includes a total of 18 CFU, equal to 450 hours, distributed between the 2nd and 3rd year and can be divided between internal and external (see “Internal and external CFU distribution table”). At the end of the individual activities/seminars of the internal internship, a paper is required (see “Thesis requirements table”). Once the internal internship is completed – through the seminar activities – the complete list must be communicated to the Secretariat of the Degree Course using the “internal internship summary form”.

Before starting the external internship, it is useful to read the contents of the “External Internship Guide”.

To start the internship (internal and external) it is necessary to have taken and passed the exam of "Principles and foundations of social service" required in the first year of the study plan.
