Professional Experience & Placement

During the fifth module of your degree program, you can choose from three different types of professional experiences:

• Internship—While working for a company the student will complete assignments that are part of a real project.
• Field learning experience—As a consultant the student will collaborate with other creatives and develop a real project for a company, while supervised by a project leader.
• Entrepreneur experience—If you dream of being an entrepreneur, our faculty will mentor you as you develop your business and managerial skills through both theory and practice.

Whichever type of experience you choose, you will be guided and mentored throughout the process. You will have a chance to apply new skills, get an inside perspective on your field, and make valuable industry connections that can further your career.

Non-EU students are also eligible to participate in a professional experience. They can extend their permit of stay to work in Italy for up to one year after degree completion.
