Internships

The University of Parma promotes curricular internships to facilitate professional choices through direct knowledge of the workplace and the alternation between studying and working.

The curricular internship integrates and completes the student's training programme through practical activities which, in accordance with the Didactic Regulations of their course of study, may be carried out within the University or at public and private partner institutions.

The internship involves three parties: the student, the promoting party (the University of Parma) and the host party (company or organisation) where the activity is carried out under the guidance of a university tutor, a University lecturer and a company tutor.

The curricular internship is not a prerequisite for employment of the trainee at the host company, nor is it a substitute for company labour or professional services.
