conventions office: stage@unipv.it The platform is mainly in Italian, you can ask for forms and
assistance in English to filodiretto->internships. This may require 5-12 days.

The full process may require 2-10 days.

2. Enable an agreement between the University of Pavia and the institution where you expect to be working as an intern. Check here if there is an agreement already in place:
3. If not, the agreement (convenzione) can be arranged through the Almalaurea platform. When the agreement is finalised, you can complete the project for the internship as specified in the following step.
4. Fill in details regarding the internship project on the ALMALAUREA online portal here.
