What is an Internship
The Internship within the Graduate Degree Programme in Educational Sciences and Services to the Person is a curricular experience planned during the two years of the programme. The internship consists of guided activities in order to develop the necessary analytical, relational and design skills acquired in the programme.
In addition, the internship activity allows the student to verify his/her ability to interact with the land, analyze needs and prepare pedagogical interventions. All this through the relationship with the actors and operators of the host structures.
It is the student's responsibility to identify the place of internship as a space to deepen and acquire specialized skills regarding the programme of study undertaken.
Planned activities
- Personal interviews with the tutor of reference.
- Large and small group meetings for the definition of tools for the planning, analysis and evaluation of the internship.
- Meetings with privileged witnesses about the role and activity of the Pedagogue in personal services.

- How does the recording take place?
By remote procedure. The student will proceed as usual by registering for the roll call (after the tutor's positive evaluation regarding the outcome of the report produced), but will not have to appear on the day of the roll call as all procedures are online by the coordinator. - Is it possible to do an internship abroad?
Yes, to activate an internship based abroad, the reference office is UCSC International (wea@unicatt.it) - Is there financial support (scholarship or reimbursement of expenses) for the curricular internship?
There is no refund. - Is it always possible to interrupt the internship?
Of course, by notifying the tutor of reference. The host institution may request the interruption directly from the ST&P portal. - Is it possible to change the duration of a curricular internship?
If the hours required for the achievement of the ECTS have not been reached, it is possible to request an extension. The host institution can request the extension directly from the ST&P portal.
If the hours required for the achievement of ECTS have been reached, it is necessary to activate a new training project with ZERO ECTS.
