Degree Programmes in Mechanical Engineering

External Internship

To undertake an External Internship, students must first contact a professor who will act as their university tutor, the internship committee of their degree programme, and/or an Italian or foreign company or organisation where they intend to complete the curricular internship.

Two possible scenarios apply:

  1. The company/organisation does not have an active agreement with the University. Check the list of active agreements. The company/organisation, supported by the university tutor, starts the agreement procedure following the instructions on the University internship page.
    • The completed and digitally signed agreement must be sent to the certified email address of the Department of Industrial Engineering: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., stating the name of the university tutor.
    • Handwritten documents are not accepted.
    • Wait for the list of active agreements to be updated, then proceed to point B.
  2. The company already has an active internship agreement. The “Training Project (Progetto Formativo)” can be completed on Collabora by selecting “Student Internships – Tirocini Studenti”.
    1. The student, together with the university tutor and the company, completes the host organisation, tutor and activity-schedule sections.
    2. The teaching office verifies that the project complies with the Degree Programme Regulations.
    3. The university tutor receives a notification, reviews the project and approves it.
    4. The student sends the project to the company, which digitally signs it and returns it by certified email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
