CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP

An internship is a learning by doing experience taking place during your studies.

Your journey at Bocconi has just started, but It’s important you already get some information about this important activity.


You always have to inform the Internship Office before the beginning of the experience.
There are different rules for the activation of the internship depending on whether it takes place in Italy or in another country.
The Internship Office walks you through the internship step-by-step: from the activation to the credit recognition request.

The University invites you to carry out such experience after the completion of learning activities which are fundamental to gain basic theoretical knowledge.

You can therefore participate in a curricular internship only starting from the end of second-year classes onwards.

As an exception, if you meet some specific academic requirements, you can complete the internship experience between the end of the teaching period of the first year and the start of the teaching period of the second year.
(More information on the Guide to the University)

In order to get academic credits, your internship must meet some specific requirements:

Duration

  • Minimum duration: 6 weeks full-time
  • Minimum duration: 8 weeks part-time

Contents

The internship activities must be in line with your degree course.

After you complete all necessary steps for the activation, your internship will receive an advance authorization for the credit recognition.
Only at the end of the experience, after you and your company supervisor complete the final documentation, the internship will get the final validation and it will be ready to be registered in the study plan.
Please remember to check the rules about the internship in the study plan.
