The Internships in Italy program will continue to accept applications from interested students attending the Globalization Program this semester.
This opportunity is for students who are interested in building on their capabilities and competencies in settings such as research centers, universities, cultural organizations, and companies in Italy. Available projects in the host institutions are connected to themes of Globalization, Cultural Heritage and/or Sustainable Development. The requested language skills and levels vary by project.
After an internship placement has been confirmed by a host organization for a short-listed scholarship candidate, the student is awarded an Internships in Italy Scholarship that partially covers accommodation and living costs.
All students currently taking at least 3 courses in the 1st Semester 2024-2025 of the VIU Globalization Program are eligible to apply. Students continuing to the 2nd semester 2024-2025 are encouraged to apply now. Internships take place after students have completed all their courses at VIU and are two to four months long.
Application forms are available on the student’s profile page and will be accepted no later than November 17, 2024. Interviews will take place on Tuesday, November 19. A link will be shared on Monday to select an interview time.
