IMPORTANT NOTE
To start the internship, all steps of the procedure must be completed.

Do not start the internship if:

  • the training project has not yet been signed by the tutors;
  • you have not received the activation confirmation.

Before these steps are completed, insurance coverage is not active and the hours worked will not be recognized.

In brief, the procedure includes:

  • choice of the host institution;
  • matching;
  • validation by the Degree Programme;
  • signature of the training project;
  • activation;
  • internship period;
  • completion.

The Master's Degree Programme includes a curricular internship at companies, public or private institutions, professional studios, and DidaLabs laboratories, for a total of 225 hours, corresponding to 9 ECTS credits.

 

Before starting the internship, the trainee must complete the General Workplace Safety Training Course – MEDIUM RISK (4 hours of General Training + 8 hours of Specific Training), as required by Legislative Decree 81/2008.

 

N.B. Before requesting placement through the Internship Office, students must contact the company or laboratory directly to verify its availability to host them as interns.

ATTACHMENTS

REQUEST FOR RECOGNITION OF WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES

(with revenue stamp) to be scanned and sent as a single PDF file by email to the Academic Office at the following address: segr@design.unifi.it

 

The 3 ECTS credits are acquired by completing the form and attaching the required certification.
(certificate or attestation issued by the providing institution – in the case of workshops, seminars, and design studios coordinated by the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programmes in the Design section and by the coordinating lecturer, certifying at least 75 hours of learning activity and signed by the supervisor, computer skills):

Facsimile attestato

NOTE:
> 1 ECTS = 25 hours of workshop
> 1/5 ECTS = 1 single conference (e.g. 5 conferences = 1 ECTS)
> Appendix 1 and the certificates for the recognition of ECTS credits may be submitted when the student has obtained all 3 ECTS credits.

 

ALLEGATO 1.C

The Master’s Degree Programme Council has decided that all internship credits may be recognised exclusively through university workshops.

Students are therefore required to submit a single recognition request for these workshop activities, submitting ALL certificates they have obtained only once.

All certificates, together with the Appendix (1.C) for the request for recognition of all ECTS credits through workshops/conferences, must be sent as a single PDF file by email to the Academic Office at the following address: segr@design.unifi.it

NOTE: Incomplete applications or applications submitted at different times will NOT be considered.

 

 

REQUEST FOR EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN WORK ACTIVITY AND INTERNSHIP

ALLEGATO 2

The internship may be recognised as equivalent to work activity by completing Appendix 2 together with a descriptive report of the activity carried out, demonstrating its relevance to the learning outcomes of the Degree Programme.

Full internship:
> 225 hours / 9 ECTS (new curriculum)
> 300 hours / 12 ECTS (old curriculum)

Partial internship:
> 150 hours / 6 ECTS + 3 ECTS “other activities” (new curriculum)
> 225 hours / 9 ECTS + 3 ECTS “other activities” (old curriculum)

For the evaluation of work activity, send an email to the Academic Office (segr@design.unifi.it) with the subject “EQUIVALENCE”, attaching the WORK ACTIVITY REPORT (see documents) in PDF format, signed and stamped by the employer.
The response will be sent within 30 days.

In case of approval, submit l'ALLEGATO 2 (Original version – including revenue stamp) at the Design Campus reception (Via Sandro Pertini 93, Calenzano – FI), together with:

  • FOR EMPLOYMENT (DEPENDENT WORK)
    Employment contract of any type: submit a copy of the contract, stamped and signed by the employer, without payslips.

  • FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT (VAT REGIME)
    A declaration from the employer/client together with the invoice, fee note, or other payment receipt.
    The invoice must clearly indicate the activity to which the report refers.

  • FOR OTHER INTERNSHIP (NON-CURRICULAR)
    The training project is required, and payment does not need to be documented.

 

IMPORTANT:
> The work activity must be consistent with the study programme and equivalent to a curricular internship. During the activity, the applicant must have been supervised by a qualified professional, acting as a company tutor equivalent.
> It is not possible to recognise an internship more than once, i.e. if it has already been used for other degree programmes. For this reason, students must submit a self-declaration stating that the internship for which recognition is requested has not already been used for recognition in other study programmes or at other universities

NOTE:

The Degree Programme will NOT consider:

  • requests for recognition of self-employment activities
  • employment contracts/assignments related to teaching
  • group-based work activities
  • incomplete recognition applications
  • any other forms of work activity for recognition purposes different from those described above

The Teaching Committee will issue an opinion within 30 days from the submission of COMPLETE documentation, and applicants will be contacted ONLY in the case of an incomplete application or a negative decision.

 

The School of Architecture and the Degree Programme have established that:

  1. The internship CANNOT be carried out at a professional office with family ties to the student;
  2. The internship CANNOT be carried out at the professional office of the student’s thesis supervisor;
  3. The internship CAN be carried out at one of the DidaLabs laboratories, where the Laboratory Coordinator MAY be the student’s thesis supervisor.
  4. In the case of recognition of work activity (see Appendix 2), this must be consistent with the study plan, continuous over time, significantly exceed the minimum of 300/225/150 hours (depending on the credits to be earned: 12, 9, or 6 ECTS), be documented through a descriptive portfolio, and fall within the contract or assignment signed by the employer.
