Curricular internships are aimed at students who need to complete an internship as part of their academic program to obtain their Bachelor's or Master's degree.
CHARACTERISTICS
Internships can be undertaken at national and international companies, public and private organizations, and trade associations. It is essential that:
- The tasks performed be relevant to the student's field of study;
- The work be continuous for the internship period.
Internships CANNOT be undertaken at organizations where the responsible manager has family ties or affinity with the intern up to the 2nd degree, pursuant to the General University Regulations on internships (UNIMORE - Regulations), which all students are encouraged to read.
Students can search for an internship independently or turn to the Internship Office for support. At the bottom of this page, you can find the list of all partner organizations. You can also view their internships and job offers for students and graduates here: https://placement.unimore.it/lau/annunci/bachecaannunci.aspx?lang=it&tipobacheca=TIROLAV.

The Internship Office only activates the mandatory curricular internships in the study programme.
The Department of Communication and Economics does not act as a promoter for internships if the student has already completed the mandatory curricular internship.
The only exception is when activating curricular internships for Bachelor's/Master's students who are doing an internship directly related to their thesis preparation in agreement with their supervisor. In this case, their supervisor must contact the Internship Office and communicate the need for the second internship. Any second internship must be completed before the graduation date and will not be credited.
The mandatory internship in the study programme CANNOT be replaced by elective exams. Elective exams must be completed solely by passing exams, see https://www.dce.unimore.it/en/education/optional-elective-courses
