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.
