The curricular internship is a key to access the world of work with which to experiment "on the field" the notions learned during university training and evaluate the real motivation with respect to a professional role. It represents an opportunity for professional and personal growth and to complete and improve one's curriculum and thus integrate the process of classroom learning and individual study.
It is, therefore, a period of experimentation that allows you to concretely apply the knowledge acquired at the University to different work environments.
Università Cattolica has understood the value of this tool, including it in most of its degree programmes and awarding credits for the achievement of the degree.
Attribution of ECTS
The Undergraduate Degree Programme in Languages for Business (formerly called Business Language Expert) includes a compulsory internship of 12 ECTS, which corresponds to 300 hours of internship to be carried out in a company on a full-time or part-time basis (a minimum of 20 hours per week is required).
All the other programmes of the Undergraduate and the Graduate Degree Programme give the possibility of including in the study plan, among the "Other training activities", an optional internship of 4 ECTS, equivalent to 100 hours of internship to be carried out in the company with full-time or part-time hours (a minimum of 20 hours per week is required).
