Yes, it is possible to activate an internship with a non-affiliated company, but first the company must enter into an agreement with the Polytechnic.

Does choosing the internship (and therefore exceeding 180 CFU) entail an increase in degree points proportional to the "overrun" CFU?

No, it does not result in an increase in points. The extra credits will be considered extracurricular.
