Traineeship and substitute activities

The traineeship can also be substituted by other formative activities if it is considered of particular formative value by the Teaching Committee.

In fact, the Teaching Committee can recognize the professional certificated understanding and abilities as Formative University Credits (ECTS) under current legislation. Recognized ECTS can be considered as substitutes for traineeship ECTS (DM 509/99).

More information and the form to request recognition of substitute activities for traineeship can be found online on the degree programmes website or in the Personal Area following these links Student Personal Area > Internship in Italy. Area Riservata studenti > Stage in Italia.

The form to request recognition of substitute activities for traineeship, completed and signed by the institute and by the president of the Teaching Committee: either Professor Flavia De Rubeis or professor Dorit Raines, must be delivered direction to the Student Careers Sector for MA and not to the Internship Sector.

To consult the available substitute activities, visit the Italian page.

Students that are going to carry out a “National Civil Service” at Ca’ Foscari or a “General Collaboration of 150 hours” only at Ca’ Foscari, can ask the referent members of the Teaching Committee for traineeship (either Professor Flavia De Rubeis or professor Dorit Raines) whether each activity, once finished, will be recognized as substitute activities for traineeship, if it is considered as such by the pertinent College with respect to the educational course of the student.

Regarding the Civil Service, there is the possibility to carry it out at CA’ Foscari ( stage@unive.it) and that those held by other institutions will only be taken into account as substitute activity for the traineeship if the institutes have previously stipulated an agreed upon contract with Ca’ Foscari ( stage@unive.it).

The Laboratory intends to steer students towards bibliographic and archival research, and thus train them through direct contact with different types of sources, experimentation of specific methodologies for investigation, understanding (and experience) of paper and digital tools available today. The Laboratory also intends to steer and sustain students in the preparation of their Degree Thesis in the different phases.

The laboratory activity is indicated through activities chosen by the student, counted as ECTS in traineeship or substitute traineeship activities, and will be carried out at BAUM.

The laboratory, carried out at BAUM, is worth, pending previous approval and suitability, 1 ECTS.
