The curricular internship is a training activity that can be evaluated as 12 Training Credits (6 CFU of the second year + 6 CFU of the third year), corresponding to 300 hours of work in hosting company. The internship takes place in the third year of the course as an alternative option instead of free credits suggested in your academic study course. The internship can be carried out at institutions, firms or companies already has a valid agreement with the “Politecnico di Torino” or that can be accredited on the proposal of the student (https://careerservice.polito.it/aziende/attivare_un_tirocinio). The proposed institution, firm or company must meet the following requirements: in the company there is at least one engineer/architect regularly enrolled in the Order of Architects/Engineers since at least 3 years (this requirement is not necessary for employees of public companies); the company must not have any family ties with the student; the company must not be owned by a teacher of Politecnico in charge for an exam you still have to pass. The internship cannot be carried out within the structures of the Politecnico (with the exception of the Laboratories already included in the proposals for internship), being aimed specifically at the meeting with the working environment. It is not possible to obtain recognition of activities already carried out: the internship consists of an activity formulated from scratch taking into account the needs of students in relation to the proposal of companies and institutions. Finally, the internship can also be carried out abroad.

Meetings with companies/firms/institutions are planned during the "TIME FOR JOB" events (https://careerservice.polito.it/eventi), which offer the opportunity to get to know companies and evaluate internship offers. Alternatively, you can consult the available internship offers from the web portal. 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

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.
