Internships:

An internship opportunity is available to our international Study Abroad students who wish to undertake a professional experience in a culturally diverse environment as part of their study abroad academic experience.

Our experiential learning programme provides each student intern with an integrated academic and professional learning experience, which can be done during the study abroad term or immediately following it:

Part-time: during the academic semester, in combination with academic courses
Full-time: After completion of a semester of study OR a Winter short-term programme
Duration of internship placements: min 2 months to up to 6 months
Internship requests for a duration of less than 2 months will assessed on a case by case basis.

Language

Based on the student’s language capabilities, the internship may be available English or in Italian, while the content of the course and webinars will be delivered in English. Although proficiency in Italian is not required, we do require that students interested in a placement have some prior knowledge of Italian and therefore recommend enrolling in one of our Italian language courses if the student has had no prior Italian language study.
