Internship Enrollment
Enrollment runs from the first enquiry to the documentation issued after the internship ends. The five phases below follow that order: when to apply, requesting the form, academic approval, review and first installment, and the steps before arrival and after completion. Open each phase to read the steps it contains.
When to Apply
Applications are open year-round
Candidates may apply at any time, subject to internship availability, host capacity, and academic calendar alignment.
Apply at Least Four to Five Months Ahead
A minimum of 90 days is recommended to complete academic approvals, placement review, and, where applicable, visa procedures.
Requesting the Application Form
Email the Designated Office
To begin the process, candidates must request the Internship Application Form by contacting the Study Abroad Office at francesca.serra@unicollege.eu.
Application Form
The Internship Application Form includes academic background, preferred internship area, credit intention (non-credit, 3 credits, or up to 9 US/Canadian credits where available), language proficiency, CV, and a brief statement of objectives connecting the internship to the student’s field of study.
Academic Approval
Home-University Application Approval
Where required, the application must be approved by the home university or academic advisor, particularly if credit recognition is requested.
Unicollege Approval
Completed applications are submitted to Unicollege for academic and placement review. Internship availability is conditional and subject to evaluation of academic fit, language competence, GPA, and host requirements.
Learning Objectives and Governance
If the internship is offered for credit, learning objectives and academic deliverables are defined in advance in coordination with the student and, where applicable, the home institution.
Review, Confirmation and First Installment
Application Review
Applications are typically reviewed within 7 to 10 working days. Upon confirmation of placement, students receive formal acceptance and internship documentation.
Installments and Conditions
After confirmation, participants must submit the first non-refundable installment, including any applicable internship fee, where the internship is credit-bearing: € 300 for 3 credits, € 600 for 6 credits, € 900 for 9 credits. The full cost breakdown is on the costs page.
Before Arrival and After Completion
Pre-Arrival Assistance
Prior to arrival, students receive supervision details, academic requirements, and, where relevant, credit documentation outlining evaluation methods and deliverables.
Documentation and Final Steps
Upon completion of the internship and all required academic components, students receive formal documentation. For credit-bearing internships, evaluation and transcript issuance follow established academic procedures; for non-credit internships, students receive an official certificate of completion and a supervisor evaluation.
