Students can activate internships abroad (lasting at least 1 month and maximum 12 months) according to the indications in the official internship regulations for their degree , which can be found at this link by selecting the name of the course of interest and downloading the regulation in the "Internships and Workshops" section.
The University acts as the promoter of internships, but in order for the internship experience to be recognised, the activation process must be completed before starting the internship experience and not once completed, otherwise, the internship cannot be recognised. The activation process usually takes about 7/10 days. Below are some indications to support you in 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 start the bureaucratic activation process (without which the internship cannot be recognised), the company must send an Acceptance Letter, which can 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 IULM 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.
Furthermore, interns will also need to be registered on the Amalaurea IULM portal, through the Online Student Services,
