All internship experiences must be previously approved in order to ensure their consistency and coherence with the educational objectives of the Master of Science the student is enrolled in. At the end of the internship such experience is validated in order to obtain academic recognition.
In order to obtain the recognition of the internship and the relating credit points it is necessary to follow the steps described in this paragraph.
Authorization in advance
After having viewed the internship on the JobGate and having confirmed it formally, the student must request the in-advance authorization, by accessing the area ‘My internships’ and clicking on ‘Request internship recognition.
The request is automatically made viewable to the Program Director or his/her delegate who can give his/her approval, reject it or, for more information, ask the student, through a messaging procedure available on the yoU@B Diary, to schedule a meeting or through chat. The student views the request outcome in the yoU@B in the ‘My internships’ area in the JobGate.
Notice: without advance authorization, the internship is not started as curricular internship.
For the Management MSc Program the following internships cannot be recognized as curricular ones: at Italian Chambers of commerce abroad, The Foreign consulates in Italy, the professional studios and, as a general guide, Italian embassies and consulates abroad, the Italian diplomatic representative institutions abroad .
If the internship is carried out before the enrollment finalization to the MSc programs and after the undergraduate degree students may request authorization to have the experience recognized as a Master of Science curricular internship via email to the Program Director by the end of the teaching period (end of second semester lessons) of the first year of studies.
Students cannot request authorization to the Program Director before the end of the internship and before the beginning of the first year in no way (even if he/she initially enrolled in the MSc program as of the internship starting date).
Once the approval is obtained, students must put in contact through the Internship Office via the help&contact procedure on the yoU@B Diary, to complete the validation procedure of the curricular internship.
If students carry out further internships in the years following the first one with potential curricular value, the internship already recorded in the study plan remains valid. It is not possible to choose, at the end of the study path, which internship is to be recognized as curricular one.
Final validation
Once the internship is ended, the Program Director views the evaluation sheets filled out by the trainee and company tutor respectively. The evaluation sheets will be analyzed carefully; for more information, the Program Director can ask the student, through a messaging procedure available on the yoU@B Diary, to schedule a meeting or through chat. Once the final recognition has been obtained, the student can check the credit points recording in his/her academic career via the Punto Blu.
The University carries out checks during the internship of the student in order to verify the real running of the internship. In case the student is repeatedly not found the internship is annulled. Immediate communication on the internship annulment will be forwarded urgently to the student and to the host company.
In case of behavior contrary to the Honor Code and to the Regulations for University Internships during the internship, students can be reported to the Disciplinary Board by the Internship Office.
Registration of the credit points: the internship must be recorded in the student's academic career by the set deadline for the study plan completion for the graduation session.
Generally, the internship must have been finished by that date. Any uncompleted internships which have satisfied the minimum duration of time will still be recognized in the student's academic career only if:
- the student must graduate before the end of the internship
- the student applies for a scholarship.
In the above cases, the completion of the end-of-internship documentation must be carried out within the time needed to record the internship in the student's academic career as the set deadline for the completion of the study plan (or the deadline for the cases specified above) approaches (at least one week before).
