Internships

The start and conclusion of curricular internships takes place entirely online via the ESSE3 application, which can be accessed by all the actors involved, i.e. the student, the host company and the academic tutor, each using their own credentials.
Students can find all information and a guide for the activation/conclusion of the internship at https://www.unipr.it/tirocini-curriculari-online or by using the following links directly:

Indication of the main steps of the internship activation-conclusion procedure:

1. Choosing the organisation where the internship will take place. The student may contact an organisation of his or her choice, and wait for the company contact person to enter the Training Project they have agreed on into ESSE3. Alternatively, the student can apply for open opportunities already posted by companies on ESSE3. At this stage, the student can enquire and consult with the academic tutor on site. The tutor-professor to be contacted in order to start the internship is prof. Gemmo Iocco
2. Choice of Academic Tutor and Confirmation of Training Project by the Student (in ESSE3). Once the academic tutor and the Internship Office have approved the internship in ESSE3, the internship activity can begin. During the internship, the student will record the hours completed using the appropriate form (Form A).
3. Closing of the placement
   The closing of the procedure (final approval by the academic tutor, and recording of ECTS credits) takes place exclusively online. The student and the business tutor both complete their own questionnaire proposed by the system. Students are also required to attach scanned attendance sheets (Form A) and their final report prepared in accordance with the instructions below to the ESSE3 platform.

Instructions for the final report
The final report (one or two pages long) must contain: details of the student and an indication of the period of the internship; a brief description of the establishment where the activity took place; description, analysis and evaluation of the experience carried out.

In some cases, the internship may be replaced by internship-like experiences already carried out by the student independently (e.g. community service). Recognition will be possible if these activities meet the following conditions: carried out during the years of enrolment at the university; content consistent with the teaching profile of the degree course; commitment for a minimum number of hours (150 hours), equal to 6 ECTS credits.

To this end, the student must: submit a request form for validation of the activity carried out (Form B); submit adequate documentation attesting to the activity carried out; submit an accurate report describing the activities carried out and showing their congruence with the above-mentioned conditions.
This documentation, handed over to the Academic Tutor, will be assessed by the Course Council.
