Internships in Italy and/or abroad

Students enrolled in the Linguistic and Cultural Mediation degree program are required to complete a 13 ECTS internship as part of their curriculum. This internship can be conducted either within Italy or abroad and must entail a minimum of 325 hours of work, and it must be conducted during the second semester of the third year to cover up to a maximum of 12 weeks.
For students seeking internships in Italy, detailed information and application instructions can be found in the dedicated section. Additionally, Ca' Foscari actively promotes and organizes international internships worldwide. Opting for an international internship grants students a 2-point bonus towards their final degree grade. At the Internship Sector, students will find the names of entities and companies selected by the Internship Commission in order to further enhance the professional training offered by CdS (non sono sicura come tradurre CDS).
To initiate the internship process, students should reach out to designated faculty members based on the initial letter of their surname. The following teachers are the designated points of contact:

  • A-C Elena Dal Maso
  • D-G Maria Elisa Fina
  • H-M Patrizio Rigobon
  • N-R Linda Rossato
  • S-Z Giuseppe Trovato

Each contact teacher will oversee all aspects of the internship, from project approval to credit recognition, for their respective students.
