The internship is a period of professional training you can carry out as part of your university path. Its purpose is to promote direct knowledge of the world of work, of new and  innovative aspects of the professions, technologies and organisations.

You can carry out the internship in two different ways:

  • Internal internship at the University of Trento
  • External internship, or training internship in a company or external body (commonly also called "stage")

You must be regularly enrolled and have acquired a minimum number of credits:

  • 90 ECTS for Bachelor's Degrees
  • 30 ECTS for Master's Degrees.

The Department Council may grant exceptions, if approved.

The internal internship is a training period carried out within the Department or an institution collaborating with the Department itself.
