InPA internships at the Municipality of Milan

The University of Milan has partnered with the Municipality of Milan to participate in the "InPA Internships" programme promoted by the Department of Public Administration.
The programme provides for the activation of paid curricular internships within participating public administrations, to allow students to gain qualified experience in the public sector and master the skills needed to face present and future challenges.

The University has therefore launched a selection process for 10 interns. Applications are open to students enrolled in certain master’s degree programmes offered by the University, as listed here below.

All internships will take place at the Directorate of Culture and/or other Directorates of the Municipality of Milan. They will last 6 months and must be conducive to the writing of the Master's thesis. 

Each intern will receive a gross allowance of €3,600, which will be paid in a single instalment at the end of the training period. Interns who complete less than 50% of the total internship hours will not be entitled to the allowance. Successful completion of the internship also leads to the awarding of university credits, in accordance with the study plans of the relevant degree programmes.
