What is the internship
The internship represents a key to access the world of work with which you can experience "in the field" the notions learned and evaluate the real motivation with respect to a professional role. It represents an opportunity for professional and personal growth to complete and improve one's curriculum, complementary to the classroom learning process and individual study.
It is, therefore, a period of experimentation that allows the student to verify the connection between the knowledge acquired at the university and its application within individual organizations.
