Professional Internships ware established through an agreement between Politecnico di Torino and the Orders of Architects of Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta to offer graduates in Architecture who meet the required criteria the opportunity to be exempted from the first practical test of the State Examination for Professional Practice (Esame di Stato) for admission to the Register of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects and Conservators.
You can undertake this internship if you graduated from Politecnico di Torino with a degree belonging to the classes listed in Articles 17.2 and 18.2 of Presidential Decree no. 328/2001 and subsequent amendments, and if you submit your internship request within 24 months of graduation.
This is a structured, regulated, and certified professional training experience carried out at an accredited public or private Host Organization. The internship lasts 900 hours, to be completed within six months from activation and in any case no later than twelve months.
You will do your internship under the supervision and guidance of a professional registered with the Order of Architects, according to the training project agreed upon with your Host Organization and validated by both the Order of Architects of Turin (Coordinator) and Politecnico di Torino (Promoter).
For the purposes of the State Examination, the final certificate issued upon completion of the internship is valid for five years from the date of issue (Article 9 of the Regulation on the Professional Internship).
Please note that curricular internships completed during your Bachelor's or Master's degree programme (including single-cycle degree programmes), as well as non-curricular internships carried out under Ministerial Decree no. 142/98 and Regional Law no. 3/2012, cannot be recognized as part of the Professional Internship.
