The activity carried out can be: - subordinate work activity (temporary or permanent) or project work or apprenticeship activities etc., with the exclusion of self-employment activities (question 1), - National Civil Service activities (question 2), - voluntary work with insurance coverage by the institution (question 3)

You can request recognition: after entering the internship in the study plan; after the conclusion of the activity carried out (in Italy or abroad); regardless of the existence of an agreement for the performance of training activities between the host organization where the activity was carried out and the University of Bologna.

For the recognition it is necessary to fill in and submit the appropriate application according to the type of activity carried out (see above) and deliver it to one of the professors of the commission. The Traineeships Commission will then verify the admissibility of the request and the regularity of the documentation, to express a positive or negative opinion.

Insurance coverage is only guaranteed during the approved period on the Internship Program. The hours of training carried out before the approved start date will be canceled, the hours carried out after the approved date and not motivated by an extension request, will be canceled and removed from the number of hours necessary for the acquisition of the credits required by the teaching plan.
