Extracurricular internship
Please note that graduate students have up to one year from their date of graduation to activate an internship abroad through the Career Service Office. After this period, legally, the University can no longer be a promoter of internships abroad.
Remember that graduate students have up to one year from the day of their graduation to activate an internship through the office. After this period, the University will no longer be able to promote internships abroad from a legal point of view. Keep in consideration that the activation process usually takes about 7/10 days.
Below are the options for finding an internship abroad:
- Check the offers in the IULM section of Almalaurea, by typing STAGE ESTERO in the search bar
- Join the private LinkedIn group "IULM for Job"
- Find the internship thanks to your personal connections or network (sometimes you may have personal contacts abroad). If you fall into this category, it is advisable to contact the office so they can explain how to best proceed
- Use search engines and/or Internship Providers, which are agencies that offer many advantages for curricular internships. We invite students to write to internship@iulm.it to receive a list of useful links for their search.

What should I do once I have been selected for an internship?
Once selected for an internship, before starting the internship and in order to begin the bureaucratic activation process (without which the internship cannot be recognised), the company must send an Acceptance Letter, which should be sent scanned to us at internship@iulm.it specifying fundamental details to be able to draw up the Internship Agreement / Training Agreement.
The Acceptance Letter template for companies to fill in can be downloaded here.
The company will also have to register on the Almalaurea portal where the internship activation documents will be processed, by clicking on this link.
Once we have received the letter, we will draw up the Internship Agreement which we will then send to our General Manager for it to be signed. Once signed, we will contact the intern to sign the document and to explain the next steps to complete the activation.
Lastly, if the internship is in presence, you will also need to sign the Manleva Tirocinante Estero, which you can request by writing to internship@iulm.it.
Checklist before starting:
Before leaving for an internship abroad, we strongly recommend that you:
- Check the expiry date of your passport and health card
- Apply for your passport in good time (if it is not valid for the trip)
- Retrieve information - also from our office - on any health insurance to be taken out (if deemed necessary for your internship)
- Check the need for any medical vaccinations required by the host country
- Find out about and, if necessary, apply for an entry visa in the countries that require it (this process is the responsibility of the trainee, who must take into account the timing of the procedure)
- Finally, it is advisable to gather as much information as possible about the Hosting Country and the Host Organisation.
Check-list Activation documents - Do you have all these documents?
- Acceptance Letter
- Internship Agreement
- Manleva Tirocinante Estero (if the internship is in presence)

If you are interested in hosting our graduates for internships, the best option would be to create a company profile on our career services platform (Almalaurea). It is used by all our students to search for internship opportunities and would therefore be the best way to give visibility to your internship offers. Your offers will then be further promoted through internal communication channels to increase their visibility.
To register, simply click on this link where you can enter your company information and post your internship offers. You will then receive the CVs of our students when they apply and you will be able to choose the ones that best suit your needs.
Once you have found the ideal candidate, we kindly ask you to send us an Acceptance / Invitation Letter which you can download here. We kindly ask you to send the completed and signed form to internship@iulm.it.
Once we receive this letter, we will draft the Internship Agreement which will be sent to our Director General for it to be signed. The agreement is necessary for the insurance we provide to our students during their internship period. As a university, we cover civil liability and work accidents. The university does not cover health insurance.
In general, the complete activation process takes about 7/10 days.
