Internships are offered to students as the first real chance to gain experience in the world of work. An internship gives you the opportunity to put into practice what you have learned during your studies and it will help you decide about your future professional career. Politecnico di Torino promotes internships and guarantees insurance coverage both for civil liability and occupational injuries.

You will do your internship during your third year. The training project must be agreed in advance with your  Academic Tutor and with your Company Tutor. The training project must include a workload of 150 hours of activity (6 CFU).  The activities will be carried out at a host institution (public or private) and the working hours will be distributed over a period not exceeding 6 months (the period of the internship may also not coincide with a specific semester of the academic year). In addition to the hours spent at the host institution, you must also add some hours for the preparation of a brief final report.
