Past work experience can be recognized in place of the internship required by the curriculum. A basic condition for recognition is the relevance of the content of the work for the course. This relevance is checked by the Course Council. In most cases, work experience in the parental company or in a company run by family members cannot be recognised, for example for all students of the Bachelors at the Faculty of Economics and Management. It is advisable for students of all study programmes to clarify this aspect with the degree course director before submitting their application.

Basic requirement for recognition: 1 month of work experience = 1 credit to be recognized. If e.g. for the internship, according to the curriculum, 6 credits are attributed, the minimum work experience must be of 6 months.

Applications are made online for all students (with the exception of students of the Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences, who must submit their application directly to the Career Service).

All applications for recognition are subject to a tax stamp (16 €), to be paid via PagoPA (with the exception of applications from students of the Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences, who must affix a corresponding tax stamp directly to the above-mentioned form). N.B. Payment of the tax stamp via the PagoPA system is only possible once the application has been submitted online.
