The Degree envisages curricular traineeship activities (6 CFU - 150 hours) in companies, public or private organisations, professional studios and DidaLabs laboratories. For the start of the internship activity, the student must achieve 36 CFU.   The trainee, before the start of the placement, must complete the Workplace Safety Training MEDIUM RISK (4 hours General Training + 8 hours Specific Training), in accordance with Legislative Decree 81/2008

IMPORTANT

BEFORE STARTING ANY ACTIVITY, CONTACT THE INTERNSHIP OFFICE

1. After identifying an academic tutor from the list of teaching staff, the student must contact them by email to confirm their availability. Students should not send an already completed internship project for signature without first obtaining the tutor’s agreement.
2. Once the tutor’s availability has been confirmed, the student must send them the internship project so that they can assess the suitability of the selected firm/company and the proposed internship programme.
3. After the academic tutor has approved the project and the documents have been signed, the documentation must be sent to the Internship Office so that the procedure can be initiated.
4. Students are strongly advised to complete these mandatory steps well in advance of the intended start date. At least two weeks, and preferably three, should be allowed between the initial contact, the tutor’s acceptance and the start date stated in the internship project.

Please note: Before requesting the matching procedure from the Internship Office, the student must contact the company or laboratory directly to confirm its availability to host them as an intern.
