An internship is a great opportunity to gain work experience and on-the-job training before getting a real, paid and permanent job.
When the curriculum of a degree programme includes a compulsory internship, this is known as curricular internship. When students do a curricular internship, they earn credits (CFU).
Starting from the a.y. 2023/2024, students enrolled in the Professional Bachelor's Degree Programme "Manufacturing industry technologies" will activate a new type of internship, called "pratico valutativo", with the same methods and in compliance with the same rules as for the traditional curricular internship in Italy.
Information about the thesis in an institution/company are available on the STUDENT GUIDE - Bachelor's/Master's Degree Final Examination section - Final project in an institution/company (bachelor) or Thesis application - Thesis application in an institution/company (master).

All internship announcements received by Politecnico from companies or organizations are published on your personal page of the Teaching Portal – “Internship” tab - depending on the degree programme you are enrolled in.
You can apply for an internship vacancy directly from your personal page of the Teaching Portal or - if required by the employer – you can send an e-mail to the company address that you will find in the announcement. Companies and Institutions will contact the candidates who meet their requirements to start the selection process.
When you apply for an internship, you agree to automatically share your PoliTo CV. For this reason we suggest you fill it out and update it periodically.
At the bottom of the “Internship” page, you will find the list of partner companies/institutions which have hosted interns from your degree programme in the last three years. If you are interested in a specific company, we suggest you send your application thought the company official website or Linkedin.
Alternatively, you can search for a host company/institution or ask the Internship Coordinator (referente tirocini) of your degree programme and/or other professors if they know any company/institution willing to host an intern or if there are any internship opportunities within Politecnico.
After identifying your host company, it will be necessary to follow the procedures established by the university for the activation of the internship.
If you are a student, you can contact the Job Placement Office by opening a TICKET (Mon. - Fri.) on your personal page of the Teaching Portal, "Tirocini e Career Services" section.
Emails sent by students to tirocini@polito.it will not be taken into consideration. Sending a ticket is mandatory!
