Exchange and visiting students with good working knowledge of Italian may apply for a placement in a local company through the Placement Office (UFFICIO RELAZIONI ESTERNE E PLACEMENT) only for the period of their stay at LIUC. If students have not a good knowledge of Italian language the research will be more difficult.

The minimum length for an internship is 1 month going physically to the company at least 3 times a week full time.

 Once you have found an internship the placement office will issue an agreement with you and company to cover the insurance while you are physically in the company, it is called CONVENZIONE.
