Internship program
Curricular internships take place within February and May each year, the minimum duration is 250 hours. They consist of the placement of the student at a public or private institution in Italy or abroad, to carry out practical activities in line with the educational objectives of SciComm Master.
Internships offer an excellent opportunity to gain insight into a job, Company and industry. During an internship, students will work on a communication project agreed upon between the intern, the Host Organization and the coordinator of the SciComm Master program. Working students can intern at the Company where they’re working.
Even if many employers use internships to fast track potential candidates for job openings, internships do not represent, or imply, any employment relationship with the Host Organization.
When looking for an internship, interns may use University’s Career Resources or research and contact potential employers directly.
