Internship Internal training activity

Internal training activity

The internal training activity can be recognized as a curricular internship in the student’s individual study plan and generally consists of a professionalizing experience carried out in Department laboratories or facilities.

This procedure applies to the DIEF, DICEA, and DINFO Departments.

Requesting an Activity and Workplace Safety

• The student proposes to the professor to carry out the internal training activity.
• The responsible professor fills out the Internal Training Activity Request Form (rtf) and verifies that the student has completed the Workplace Safety training and passed the related assessments.
• The student must provide the professor with any certificates they already hold.

The professor completes the following fields in the form:

• Student information
• Objectives and methods of the internal training activity
• Hosting structure information
• Equivalent ECTS credits for the activity

Additionally, the professor and the student fill out the Potential Risks Assessment Form (file: UNIFI-PO-01-Mod04).

Instructions for completing the risk assessment form are available here.

The request form and the signed risk assessment form, acknowledged by the student, are sent to the Degree Programme Coordinator or President for approval.

Afterward, the approved form is sent to the Department Director for final authorization in compliance with safety obligations.

Activity Authorization

The Department Director may request additional information from the responsible professor if necessary.
Once the procedure is completed, the authorization is sent by email from the Department to both the professor and the student, with a copy to the Coordinator/President and the School Internship Office.

Conclusion of the Activity

At the end of the internal training activity:

• The responsible professor sends the completion certificate with a positive outcome to the Coordinator/President.
• The Coordinator/President processes the documentation for official recognition.
• The recognition, together with any other student requests, is sent to the Student Office for entry into the student record.

The form for the internal training activity certificate is available for download here.

Safety Obligations

• The activity cannot begin without completing the Workplace Safety training and passing the assessments.
• The 4-hour basic course is available online on the Moodle platform.
• The professor must verify that the student has submitted all required certificates before authorizing the activity.
• Monitoring questionnaires will be provided to evaluate the training path.

Note: The curricula of the Bachelor's degrees in Computer Engineering (INL, B047), Mechanical Engineering (MEL, B049) and Management Engineering (GEL, B222) do not allow internal internships. In these cases, internships must be carried out at external companies or institutions and cannot be recognized as internal curricular training activities.
