Master's Degree Programme in
Economics and Management of Arts and Cultural Activities (EGArt)
Enrolment from 2025/2026

Traineeship and substitute activities

Students enrolled from the a.y. 2020/2021

In the field of the so-called “Other formative activities”, the study plan provides 6 ECTS for formative traineeships and orientations.

The ECTS relative to formative traineeships and orientations are acquired firstly through internship activities.

ECTS can also be acquired through traineeship substitute activities based on the commitment required of the student, according to the principle that 25 hours (comprehensive for a quota of individual work) corresponds to 1 CFU. The attribution and number of credits for the traineeship’s substitute activity is established by the Didactic College (and is thus indicated and previously made known to students in reference to each available activity).

Part-time students have the opportunity to substitute the traineeship with an exam, previously believed as the favourable choice of the referent scholar.

Internship

Agreed Internships

During the study course, students are able to carry out a period of professional training at public or private firms agreed upon with Ca’ Foscari. The internship activity is recognised in ECTS (as “Formative traineeships and orientation”), for a maximum of 6 ECTS.
The University Internship service is involved with activating the internships and the relative forms and documentation.

Activated Internships

The full list of activated internships at Ca’ Foscari are found in the Personal Area, where the list of internships in Italy can also be found.

Internships to activate

Students that intend on proposing the activation of a new agreement with an institute where they will carry out their internship can consult the procedure for activating the internship, where they will also find the relative documents to send to the institute.
The procedure for activating an internship must be completed before the beginning of the activity on behalf of the student. The Didactic College will not take activities into consideration that have already been carried out without agreement with the referent scholar.

As part of the training activities defined as "The student's choice" (8 cfu – university training credits) and "Other" (5 cfu credits), the study plan foresees, respectively 

  • 6 cfu – free-choice exam
  • 2 CFU - The so-called mandatory "Seminars" can be acquired through attending seminars organized by Ca' Foscari or by other cultural institutions that are advertised on the University website. The lecturer who organizes the activity will be the Tutor and will certify the presence of the student. For the recognition of 1 credit (cfu) it is necessary to attend at least one day of the seminar, plus the drafting of a short final report. At the end of the activity all documentation must be handed in to the Campus so that it can be signed by the Seminar Manager (the referent) (Professor Stefania Portinari). It is possible to achieve the 2 credits by extending the mandatory internship by 50 hours if the objectives of the training project require it. 
  • 5 CFUs for Mandatory curricular internship
  • 6 cfu – Exam of choice/Internship. The exam of your choice can be replaced by a further internship activity. You can then carry out an internship of up to 13 credits, but in this case the student must:
    • prepare a training project aimed at the master's degree thesis, to be presented for approval to the Coordinator of the Teaching College, before starting the internship and with the involvement of the lecturer. The training project must be of a highly occupational nature..
    • at the end of the internship, the student must present a written report the Coordinator of at least 10 pages containing a detailed report on the activity completed, with critical analysis and evidence of the achievement of the project objectives.

Previous activities cannot be recognized.

Any professor teaching in the degree programme can be a Tutor, in relation to the relevance of the course to the training project of the internship. The student must conact the professor who can sign the required documents after an interview if deemed necessary. At the end of the internship, the student must bring the required documentation to the professor and write, if requested, a short report on her/his activities. Once approved, the documents must be delivered to the Department Teaching Office of the Humanities Campus.

Substitute Internship activities

The Didactic College can recognise certificated professional understanding and abilities as formative credits, as long as they are coherent with the formative objectives on the degree programme.

Only substitutive internship activities based on specific projects proposed by the Teaching Committee will be recognized.

At the start of the activity, students must fill in the specific form found in the Personal Area. The same form, at the end of the activity, should be handed in to the Humanities Campus, signed by the scholar tutor for the single activity, alongside any other possible documentation, such as register of presence, report of the activity carried out, final report already evaluated by the scholar tutor.

The Didactic College will not recognise previous or unauthorised activities.
