Internships

The University of Parma promotes curricular internships in order to facilitate professional choices through direct knowledge of the world of work and the realisation of moments of alternation between study and work.

The curricular internship integrates and completes the student's training pathway through the performance of practical activities which, in accordance with the provisions of the Didactic Regulations of their Course of Study, may be carried out in facilities within the University or externally at qualified public and private organisations with which the University has entered into appropriate agreements.

The internship involves three parties: the student, the promoting party (the University of Parma) and the host party (company or organisation) where the activity is carried out under the guidance of a university tutor, a University professor and a company tutor.

The curricular internship does not constitute a prerequisite for an employment relationship between the trainee and the host structure, nor can it be a substitute for company labour or professional services.
