Internship

The internship is a learning and training opportunity from which EFE students can benefit to improve their skills and competences, in view of their subsequent entrance in the labour market. EFE students can spend a specified time-period carrying out a number of activities connected with their studies at firms, associations, institutions, etc. cooperating with the University and the study programme and abiding by the University rules and the national and regional regulations. An internship proposal will be approved only if represents a valuable experience aiming at complementing acquired theoretical knowledge with the attainment of practical skills in the fields relevant to the master programme.

Internships have to provide students with real personal and professional enrichment. Accordingly, it is highly recommended that the students embark upon this experience after the completion of their first year, so that they have already acquired the basic theoretical knowledge and the skills that the on-the-field experience can enhance. Curricular internships must satisfy a number of requirements, namely, consistency with the study plan, seriousness of the work programme and ascertainable skill development.
