Internship
An internship (or traineeship) is a very important training experience encompassing different options:
· Students must participate in curricular internship: starting from the second year of the course, the ACCW programme includes 6 ECTS for compulsory Internships
· Those who have completed their study programme not more than 12 months ago can do extracurricular internships/traineeships.
The Study and Career Guidance Service COSP (Centro funzionale di Ateneo per l’Orientamento allo Studio e alle Professioni) manages setup procedures for internships in public and private companies and institutions aimed at enrolled students, graduands and postgraduates.
INTERNSHIPS
1. How to find a stage opportunity
Students can either select one of the available internship positions on the University noticeboard or find an internship by themselves.
For ACCW students: Please see a list of dedicated internship positions in the window beside this text, specifically tought for this BA-programme. If you intend to apply for one of these dedicated internship positions, you must contact Prof.ssa Palmieri and specify which project you would like to participate in.
In any case they must follow procedures established by the Study and Career Guidance Centre (COSP).
2. Internship procedure: find out how to start an internship on the dedicated section (see aside and below)
