Curricular and extra-curricular internships
A student's internship is called a curriculum (compulsory if it corresponds to CFU in the curriculum or optional). The internship of a recent graduate is called extra-curricular. The rules to be respected when carrying out an internship are different depending on whether it is a curricular internship or an extra-curricular one.
For more information on curricular and extracurricular internships please read the FAQ on the Career Service website and write an email to careerservice.stage@polimi.it
Each internship by law must be activated on the basis of two written agreements: the Internship Agreement and the training project. The curricular internships of the School of Urban Architecture Construction Engineering are managed by the Internship Office; for more information send an email to: tirocini-auic@polimi.it.
The extracurricular internships are managed by the Career Service; please contact us for information: careerservice.stage@polimi.it
