Internships and job placements

Our Department promotes and manages curricular internships (training) and job placements and post-grad training at local, national and international companies and organisations. If you are one of our students or have recently graduated (less than 12 months ago), consider applying for an internship, a significant experience which can help you approach the world of work.

If you are interested in starting an internship, you must contact the University's Internship & Job Placement Office (Sabrina Burocco, via Duomo 6 - tel. 0161 261559) which handles all the relevant administrative procedures, and involve the Internship and Work Experience Coordinator for your course of study, so that they can sign the authorization before the internship/work experience begins. All available internships and work placements can be found in the relevant section of the Student Portal. If you already have an idea of where you would like to do your internship, print out the “Internship Authorization Request” form (available in the student forms section) and request an interview with the Internship and Work Placement Coordinator for your degree program to obtain the necessary authorizations.

Interns must comply with the internal rules defined by each company and, before starting the internship, complete the Health and Safety Training Course for workers and those equivalent to workers at low, medium, or high risk levels corresponding to the activity to be performed. It is necessary for the interested party to check precisely what type of course is required by the host organization in order to carry out the internship in the identified department/office.

ATTENTION: WORKPLACE SAFETY COURSES CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED

In order to comply with the new State-Regions agreement, we hereby inform you that the courses provided on DIR on “Workplace Health and Safety - General Training” and “Specific Safety Training,” which are required in order to begin an internship/work experience, have been suspended.

Only the categories listed below may enroll in the above courses on an exceptional basis by completing the appropriate form:

• students graduating in the next graduation session;
• students who are required to begin an internship/work experience within the University in the laboratories; 
• students who are required to begin an internship/work experience within the University in the classrooms.

The internship is a valuable tool not only for students and graduates, who have the opportunity to gain exposure to the job market and apply the knowledge they have acquired, but also for the host organization or company, which can contribute to the intern’s training by selecting a candidate based on its specific needs.

A Job Placement service is available to all graduates to support their entry into the job market.
Graduates have the opportunity to carry out a training and orientation internship at organizations or companies. According to current regulations, training and orientation internships can be activated within 12 months of graduation and can last for a maximum of 6 months.

We invite you to take part in the Job Placement initiatives: seminars, workshops, training labs on career guidance, and matching events.
