Activating an internship abroad
To set up a curricular or extracurricular internship at an institution or company abroad, please follow this process carefully, starting from at least 20 days before the expected start date.
Please note that our University sets up two types of internships:
- Curricular internships for students on a study programme (Bachelor's, Master's, etc...), to be completed before graduation.
- Extra-curricular internships for those who completed a study programme no more than 12 months earlier.
Please note that you can also undertake an internship abroad as follows:
- remotely, i.e. working from home (specify whether in Italy or in the host country);
- in person at the host institution, in compliance with local work-safety and Covid-19 regulations. In the case of activities in person, interns will also be required to sign a waiver.
Check the internship set-up process and the documents required for your destination country (Group A or Group B).
For information, please e-mail or phone the Internship office only. Contact details are shown on this page.
Milan University Erasmus students and international interns who need clarification on company/institution-specific requirements please contact the Internship office well in advance.
