Eligibility to undertake the internship requires earning at least 48 ECTS credits by September 30 or at least 72 ECTS credits by March 31. In October and April of each academic year, the Internship Committee, in collaboration with the administrative offices, prepares a list of students eligible for the project internship.

• Eligibility obtained by the September deadline allows students to start the internship on any date from September 1, and it remains valid throughout the year.
• Eligibility obtained by the March deadline allows students to start the internship on any date from February 1, and it also remains valid throughout the year.

In May of each academic year, students are invited to a presentation meeting at the University introducing the project internship program.

All students will automatically gain access to the “Stage di progetto” Blackboard page in May of their first year.

Further information and materials are available on the course’s Blackboard page.

Internship activation follows the procedure on the Step platform.

The project internship must be approved by the Area Contact Professor, through the assigned university tutor. Within the platform, one of the three tutors listed under points 1 and 2 must be indicated, not the Area Contact Professor.

The reference offices for internship activation are:

• In Italy: Servizio Stage & Placement (stage-mi@unicatt.it)
• Abroad: International Relations Office (wea@unicatt.it)

2. Interruption of the internship – Can I interrupt my internship? Yes, but in that case, the internship ECTS credits will not be recognized, and you will need to take the corresponding exam included in your study plan.
