Other training activities that award credits
1. Internship
To undertake an internship (8 ECTS, 200 hours), students must use the TSP platform provided by the University, where companies are required to register in order for students to access the opportunities made available by the University.
This procedure falls under the direct responsibility of the University and the Internship Office of the Faculty of Architecture (enza.biamonte@uniroma1.it), and not of the Degree Programme Chair.
The Degree Programme Chair may only record the internship once it has been completed, provided that the student has booked one of the available exam sessions via Infostud and submitted the documentation (downloadable from the platform, completed and countersigned by the Faculty Internship Office), in accordance with the instructions given in the notes of the booked exam session.
2. Other Training Activities
To obtain the 8 ECTS credits, in addition to internships, students are allowed to take part in “other training activities” that are organised and proposed throughout the year by the Degree Programme.
These may include pre-approved competitions (as authorised by the Programme Board), or specific activities carried out independently by the student (such as internships completed in companies not registered on the TSP platform), provided they are relevant to the educational objectives of the programme.
To obtain recognition (ECTS registration) for these activities, the student must:
a. Register for one of the internship exam sessions via Infostud;
b. Complete and have the ECTS request form signed by the Programme Chair, attaching a detailed report describing the learning objectives, acquired skills, and activities carried out over the 200 hours (or part thereof);
c. Send the documentation by email to the Programme Chair on the morning of the scheduled session (as indicated in the academic calendar), between 9:00 and 13:00.
3. Soft Skills and Hard Skills Pathway – Porta Futuro Lazio
A third option to obtain part of the 8 ECTS required for the registration of internship/other training activities (which may also be combined with the activities described in point 2) is through the agreement between the Design Degree Programme and PORTA FUTURO LAZIO.
This is a project promoted by the Lazio Region, aimed at providing students with opportunities for professional growth through career guidance and training services, to better position themselves on the job market.
To obtain ECTS credits via this pathway, students must follow the instructions provided in the file INSTRUCTIONS (download from the [LINK]) and complete the
REGISTRATION form (download from the [LINK]).
Two eligible training paths are available to students:
- Soft Skills – 2 ECTS:
CV check + 35 hours of training activities selected from the list available on the Porta Futuro Lazio portal + career guidance session - Hard Skills – 4 ECTS:
CV check + 70 hours of training activities selected from the Porta Futuro Lazio portal
(Note: ensure that the required activities are available on the calendar in time to complete them before your internship exam session date!)
To record the ECTS credits, the student must:
a. Register for one of the internship exam sessions via Infostud;
b. Send an email to the Programme Chair on the morning of the scheduled session (as per the academic calendar), between 9:00 and 13:00, attaching the REGISTRATION document for the Porta Futuro Lazio path.
The email must clearly state that the soft/hard skills training path has been completed.
