It allows to enrich the curriculum and is often also an opportunity for placement .

The Master prepares for this moment with particular care : the potential, personal skills and objectives of each student are at the center of the internship definition activity, which is then carried out ad hoc for each student. The individual orientation path, carried out with the tutors of the Master, allows students to choose the internship locations in the most appropriate and conscious way possible and increases the opportunities for the internship to turn into a working relationship.
