Thesis research at private companies or contracted facilities

Students may choose to conduct their thesis research at private companies or contracted facilities.

Internships and thesis research can be a pathway by which the student is trained for an easier entry into the world of work.
The objectives can be multiple:
- enable the student to gain significant experience, with a high scientific and technological content, in confrontation with real business problems; - acquire an important training and orientation experience, enriching their CV with skills that are highly valued in future job interviews.
- enable the companies involved to learn more about university organisation and training.
Stepping momentarily out of the 'comfortable' academic world to breathe the air of the working world represents an investment in one's future.

A presence at the host facility of 525 hours is required, but the total duration may not exceed one year. The final examination will consist of the presentation of a seminar on the work carried out during the internship (point 6 of the Annex to the Degree Course Regulations).
The student must indicate the university tutor among the professors of the SMFI Department, which is also the internal supervisor of the Dissertation.
