The University of Pavia offers students the opportunity to carry out a curricular internship lasting six months within its own structures.

A monthly contribution of € 280.00 is provided as expense-reimbursement.
Internship at the University of Pavia Offices (in Italian)
The curricular internship is an experience that takes place outside the University, during the academic career. It is aimed to foster a first direct contact of the student with the world of work, as well as to integrate his/her studies with practical training. After the curricular internship, a specific number of credits is obtained (it varies according to each degree course).
The extra-curricular internship is an experience that takes place outside the University, typically following the completion of one's academic studies. Unlike curricular internships, which are integrated into the academic curriculum and provide credits towards the degree, extra-curricular internships are designed to enhance a graduate's practical skills and professional experience in their chosen field. These internships offer a valuable opportunity for individuals to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, establish professional networks, and gain a competitive edge in the job market.
Students and new graduates can access the portal AlmaLaurea which displays job and internship offers in Italy.
