What is an internship?
The curricular internship with university credits (ECTS) is a didactic-professional training experience carried out within a company context with defined and agreed training objectives. The internship is therefore a key to accessing the world of work, enabling students to test the knowledge they have learnt in the field.
About the internship
The internship represents a key to accessing the world of work, allowing you to experiment "in the field" the notions you have learnt, and assess your real motivation with respect to a professional role. It is an opportunity for professional and personal growth to complete and improve your study curriculum, complementing the classroom and individual study process.
It is, therefore, a period of experimentation that allows you to verify the connection between the knowledge acquired in the university and its application within individual organisations.
Università Cattolica has understood the value of this tool, including it in most of its study programmes and awarding credits for the degree.
The details of credit awarding methods and the number of credits attached to internships vary according to the provisions of the individual Faculties and Degree Programmes.
