The internship can be carried out indifferently in the first or second teaching period of the second year of the Master Degree. The student who carries out the internship must have the skills and abilities acquired within the courses of the first year of the Master Degree.

Instructions on the platform through which students can insert their internship project and track/report the internship progress till its completion, can be found at:https://didattica.polito.it/pdf/Procedura_Lato_Studente.pdf The linking activities between students and the world of work are managed centrally by the Stage & Job Office of the GESD area (http://stagejob.polito.it) to whose website please refer for the details of the work accompanying programs. In particular, support activities are provided to companies (whose acquaintance is promoted within the University) and to students (for the identification of candidates with the required skills) with the aim of promoting the meeting between the job supply and demand. Extending the duration of your internship (valid for Master’s degree programmes only): Internships have a given duration (hours) and provide a certain number of credits as specified in the Annual Personal Study Plan. You can extend the duration of your internship (number of hours) by selecting one of the options available in the field “Expected no. of hours”. You can only do this operation before the beginning of your internship and not while you are doing it. In any case, you cannot do more than 900 hours (maximum amount of hours may vary for each study course). Any request to extend the duration of an internship must be decided together with the Host Company. It MUST also be approved by a Polito faculty member (your Academic Tutor or the Internship Coordinator for your degree programme) who may reject your proposal. In this case, you need to make a new proposal and fill out a new Progetto Formativo. If your Progetto Formativo is approved, it means that the extension of your internship and the extra hours have been accepted too. At the end of an internship with extended duration, you will see that the internship is recorded in your transcript as follows: INTERNSHIP with standard hours/credits in accordance with the rules of your degree programme (i.e., 6 credits/ 150 hours) plus the annotation “curricular internship extension” with your extra hours/credits. These credits will be recorded in your transcript as credit overload (they do not count towards the 120-credit threshold required for Master’s graduation) Reference teachers: Cesare TOCCI, Rossella MASPOLI

Exam:

In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
