The MSc Program Director is also responsible for the final validation of all the internships including those authorized by Career Service. For all the internships activated through the Career Service, the Service will contact the student to agree on a date to participate in the Gruppo Stage (Internship group) , preparatory meeting to the internship experience. At the end of the internship: the student hands in the end-of internship documentation; the Offices responsible for internship procedures checks the documentation, hands to the student the internship recognition form that must be submitted, along with the end-of-internship documentation, to the MSc Program Director. The authorization form must be signed once again by the Professor for the final validation of the internship experience and in order to have the internship recorded in the student academic career.

Internships in Italy and abroad organized by the Career Service
The Career Service is the University's point of contact for all internship activities, with the exception of programs organized by the International Relations Service - International Internship Office (see International Internship with the International Relations Service).
The Service organizes all administrative procedures required by current regulations.
These tools help to balance the supply and demand for internships. Securing an internship offer is not necessarily linked to academic qualifications. The curricular and personal characteristics of each candidate are decided on by the companies which decide on the selection based on the contents of the educational project.
