Any student interested in an internship should contact professor Filippo Randelli, who is in charge of internships for students of the MSc in Economics and Development and will determine whether the internship is consistent with topics of the MSc.

The Unifi page about internships provides some general information about internships. This website from the School of Economics and Management has a similar purpose.

In order to earn ECTS from the intership, the student must insert the internship in their study plan among optional courses – this can be done before the internship or after the internship -- with a suitable codice described here. In alternative, the student may choose to undertake an internship and earn no ECTS from that.

In order to identify a firm/organization for an internship, it may be helpful to consult the database available here of firms/organizations which have an agreement with UniFi to accept UniFi students as interns. After identifying a suitable firm/organization with an open position, the student can apply for the position – this is somewhat similar to applying for a job. If the student is accepted as an intern, then the student needs to follow the steps described in this page, beginning with Enabling the Internship.

Some firms/organizations where past students of Economics and Development have been interns are listed here.

If a student wants to undertake an internship at a firm/organization which has no internship agreement with UniFi, then it is necessary beforehand to establish such agreement. In particular, the firm/organization needs to access the database here to initiate the procedure to establish an agreement (credentials are necessary, which can be obtained by clicking on iscrizione on line in the page here). Information on the procedure can be obtained from stages@adm.unifi.it.
