What is an internship?
The internship allows you to expand the wealth of skills provided by the university education profile with professional knowledge that can be acquired exclusively in the workplace.
The internship also facilitates the student's professional choices after graduation.
In this regard, the active presence of numerous partner companies is functional to improve the matching phase between students and individual companies, allowing the latter to test candidates directly in the classroom as part of the numerous activities supporting traditional teaching.
