There are no constraints for the completion of the internship in the Master's Degree. In order to access some internships it is necessary to send in advance to the company tutor or to the staff office of the host institution: the curriculum (European format), a motivation letter and a letter of introduction from a professor of the Polytechnic of Turin (in English if the internship is abroad).

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) Information relating to the IT procedure, that allows the presentation of the training project and tracks its progress until its conclusion, can be found at the following link:https://didattica.polito.it/pdf/Procedura_Lato_Studente.pdf Instructions on the platform through which students can insert their internships project and track/report internship progress until its completion, can be found at the following link: https://didattica.polito.it/pdf/Procedura_Lato_Studente.pdf

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.
