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.

The curricular internship is worth 12 credits, corresponding to a workload of 300 hours of presence in the company.

You are allowed to begin your internship when you reach at least 130 credits. You can do your internship in the second semester of your third year or in the following months, in Italy or abroad.

The host institution can be a company, but also a public or private body, a cooperative or an association. The host institution cannot be a university. You are not allowed to do an internship in a company owned by a family member.

It is not possible to obtain the recognition of activities/internships that you did in the past.

Those who study and work at the same time (not valid for extracurricular internships) should contact the Internships Committee (tirocini.digep@polito.it), to assess the possibility of recognizing professional skills as activities outside the University, in lieu of free credits corresponding to the internship.   

You must choose your Academic Tutor (depending on the subject of your internship) among the tenured professors of the Collegio of Management Engineering. If the professor agrees, he/she will become your Academic Tutor.
