Curricular Internships and Other Elective Activities

Traineeships are among the other educational activities required for the attainment of credits essential for the completion of the course of study. The training and orientation internships are carried out at public and private entities that have an agreement with the University of which a list is available here. They therefore represent a period of training that the student spends within public institutions and entities, private companies, firms, professional offices, companies, laboratories.

To be valid and recognized for graduation purposes, internships must follow a rigorous bureaucratic process and cannot be chosen independently. Only internships resulting from agreements between the DISTU Department and the host institution are recognized.

Such activities are then regulated by the Department Council and the course council. The Council of each course and the Department may also recognize as educational activities any other activities, as long as they are consistent with the educational objectives of the relevant Course of Study. Provision is also made, in some cases, for the possibility of carrying out non-curricular internships, that is, which do not give recognition to university training credits as long as the activities carried out are consistent with the educational objectives of the Course of Study.

The eventual recognition is always subsequent to the experience carried out, closes a process initiated by an appropriately documented request by the student that results in the acquisition of part or all of the credits provided for by the didactic regulations of the Course of Study.

Periodically, the Department publishes a notice indicating the internships that, depending on the availability of the contracted institutions, can be carried out immediately, and the deadline by which students must send an expression of interest to the Department by filling out a form.

In the expression of interest it is possible to indicate up to three preferences among the institutions at which one wishes to carry out the internship, choosing them from the list contained in the notice published by the Department.

A Department Committee will collect the expressions of interest and decide the assignment of students to the different institutions, taking into account both the preferences expressed by the students and merit criteria, defined by order of the Director and indicated in the notice.

Curricular internships are assigned through Notices published annually on the DISTU website. As indicated on the notice, students interested in applying will send their preferences exclusively by e-mail to the teaching secretariat(fmarzo@unitus.it; distudidattica@unitus.it).

  • Procedure and forms

    Periodically, the Department publishes a notice indicating the internships that, based on the availability of contracted institutions, can be held immediately, and the deadline by which students must send an expression of interest to the Department by filling out a form.

    • Expression of interest(ATTACHMENT A); where three choices will be indicated in order of preference among the locations included in the “List of available places”(ATTACHMENT B);
    • Self-certification of exams taken

    At the deadline of the notice, students who have applied will be summoned for the allocation of internship places (the date of the summons will be indicated on the notice).

    Following the assignment, students will be able to go to the university tutors (the Chairs of the degree programs or other faculty delegated by them) during regular office hours to fill out and sign the “Training and Orientation Project for Internship Activities”(ANNEX C), which should be sent exclusively by e-mail to the teaching secretary’s office(fmarzo@unitus.it; distudidattica@unitus.it) complete with the signature of the company tutor (the person in charge of the internship activity at the chosen institution).

    Please note that in order to avoid overlapping of several students in the same locations, the internship activity should be started immediately after the assignment and completed in the following months, no later than the publication of the next announcement.

    In order not to hinder the parallel attendance of classes and the performance of other teaching activities, it is likewise necessary to organize the activity with the respective tutors so as to avoid excessive concentration of internship hours within a few weeks.

    In case of willingness to waive and change the location of the current internship, the student is required to send only by e-mail(fmarzo@unitus.it; distudidattica@unitus.it):

    • Renunciation/change of internship form(downloadable here), where the reasons for renunciation should be clearly specified;
    • new “Training and Guidance Project for Internship Activities”(ATTACHMENT C) duly signed by the university tutor and the company tutor.

    At the end of the activity, having completed the hours required by each degree program, the student will send exclusively by e-mail(fmarzo@unitus.it; distudidattica@unitus.it) the “Final Internship Declaration”(ANNEX D).

    Please note that, as in the case of ANNEX C, this statement must also be duly signed by the “university tutor” in charge of internships in the degree program:

    Having sent the Attachment D to the secretary’s office(fmarzo@unitus.it; distudidattica@unitus.it), the student will proceed to upload the same ATTACHMENT D in pdf format to the GOMP portal, in the forms indicated in these Instructions.

    Only after these deliveries (ANNEX D) and procedure on GOMP portal) can the CFUs of the internship actually be credited.

    The procedures and forms outlined above are also valid for INTERNSHIPS excluded from normal selection through calls for applications (e.g. internships carried out within the University Library System, as part of archaeological excavation activities, etc.).

    In case of special needs and specific individual problems, students may contact the faculty member delegated by the Department Director to follow the practices related to curricular internships (Pietro Giulio Riga – pietrogiulio.riga@unitus.it) and the DISTU offices (writing to Francesca Marzo, fmarzo@unitus.it, and in CC to Maria Chiara Sangiovanni, sangiovanni@unitus.it).

    Students may also contact the Director’s delegate to propose new agreements with public and private entities, which, once approved by the Departmental Council, will be made available to the proposer and all other students from the next call for internships.

    On the other hand, for doubts and questions related to the recognition of CFUs possibly acquired through other activities, students should contact the DISTU secretariat and, if necessary, the individual chairs of the degree programs.

  • Internship agreements

    DISTU promotes the conclusion of agreements with qualified public and private entities useful for carrying out curricular internship activities.

    Faculty members can propose new agreements by emailing the form signed by the head of the entity(FORM) to the teaching secretary (Dr. Francesca Marzo – fmarzo@unitus.it ) and to the Director’s delegate for agreements, internships and social partners (Dr. Pietro Giulio Riga –pietrogiulio.riga@unitus.it).

    In view of the approval of the Department Council, faculty promoters are asked to always give notice of the progress of the file to the Director’s delegate for agreements, internships and social partners (Dr. Pietro Giulio Riga – pietrogiulio.riga@unitus.it) and to the relevant offices of the secretariat (Francesca Marzo, fmarzo@unitus.it); Maria Chiara Sangiovanni, sangiovanni@unitus.it).

    AGREEMENTS

    Framework convention for training and orientation internships.

  • Procedure and forms for internships and other activities - LM-2 and LM-89

    Students in the LM2-89 degree program are not required to participate in the departmental call for applications for curricular internships.

    Once the Institution has been identified and the availability of places for interns has been verified, the student can proceed, in consultation with the chosen Institution and the tutor in charge of internships for the degree course (Prof. Romagnoli), to fill outANNEX C, which should then be sent by e-mail, before the start of the activities, to the teaching secretary (Dr. Francesca Marzo – fmarzo@unitus.it). A list of public and private entities operating in the cultural heritage sector (state and municipal museums, superintendencies, companies), which have an agreement with the Department, is available at this link.

    As an alternative to contracted internships, students can also acquire CFUs through other activities organized by individual faculty members in the course of study (e.g., workshops, database filing, archaeological excavations, archaeological reconnaissance). Notice of these activities is given periodically through the Department’s website and social channels(links).

    Working students or those who demonstrate that they are unable to carry out the internship in either of the two ways described above may arrange a substitute activity with the Head of Internships of the Course of Studies.

    At the end of the internship, for internships in agreement, one must fill in ANNEX D which, duly signed, should be uploaded to GOMP according to the instructions given on the above-mentioned page of the Department website. At the same time, Ms. Barbara Cruciani of the DISTU Education Secretariat(cruciani@unitus.it) should be notified by e-mail of the upload. For the individual “in-house” internship activity (excavations with course lecturers, laboratories, internships at the University libraries), the student is required to upload the lecturer’s certificate into the GOMP system, proving the number of hours carried out and the corresponding number of CFUs.
