Internship
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.

Before starting an internship, you need to include it in your Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan in the academic year in which you would like to do your internship. Students wishing to carry out an internship must complete the training project from their personal page on the education portal, stage section.

Information on the online process to submit the training project and to track its progress until its conclusion, together with the general rules to undertake the internship, can be found at the following link > CURRICULAR INTERNSHIPS.
University Regulations on curricular internships and practical evaluation internships can be found HERE

Additional information:
  • Both face-to-face and remote internships are permitted; however,you cannot undertake the internship completely remotely unless expressly stated in the course guidelines. The study course may therefore specify the maximum percentage of remote activity allowed. Unless indicated, the internship may be carried out in mixed mode without further constraints.
  • Since the internship consists of a newly formulated activity, no internship activities already carried out or in progress will be recognised. However, you can always apply for recognition of professional skills as free credits by following the procedure indicated in the section Free choise credits - Other learning activities.
