General information on extracurricular internships
The extracurricular internships at the University of Bologna's facilities
The extracurricular intern is hosted by the University, following a public selection procedure, at the facilities that made the request.
The intern establishes a training relationship with the University, the internship promoter and the certifying body with a view to acquiring one of the specific professional qualifications provided for by the Regional Qualifications System (SRQ).
The maximum duration of an internship is six months, and it cannot be renewed or extended except for reasons provided for by law (pregnancy, illness or accident).
Who can undertake an internship at University facilities?
Young graduates, diploma holders or people who have otherwise fulfilled their right to education and training.
The internship is also compatible with enrolment in a university course.
On the other hand, it is not possible to offer an extracurricular internship to those who:
- have had professional experience in a self-employed or salaried capacity with public or private employers, in the context of the activities covered by the internship;
- are professionals certified or qualified for regulated professions, in the context of the activities typically reserved to those profession;
- have worked for the University of Bologna in the previous two years, as an employee or under any other contractual form;
- have already completed an extracurricular internship at the University of Bologna.

Remuneration
A monthly allowance will be paid, the amount of which will be specified in the selection notice and will not be less than the current regional minimum wage (EUR 450 per month).
Training and professional development
