Frequently Asked Questions

If your university offers Career Services, that’s a good place to start your search for an internship in Italy. Your next option is to check online resources, such as internship placement platforms or the organization you wish to intern at.

Paid internships in Italy are hard to come by. Organizations that do pay interns generally provide a monthly minimum stipend of 300 euros, according to current laws. Some host companies offer housing or meals as compensation.

Interns are not required to pay taxes in Italy. But you still need to get the Codice Fiscale, which is requested from the Italian government. It allows you access to certain services, such as health care and a mobile phone number.

International students and recent graduates can intern in Italy. Most placements are conducted in English, so participants don’t necessarily need fluency in Italian. But learning it helps overcome language barriers.

This internship has greatly enhanced my understanding.

I had a great laboratory team who were always willing to explain (via Google Translate!) the different tests and experiments they conduct. This internship has greatly enhanced my understanding of the techniques used in clinical laboratories that contribute to the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of disease. I feel more empowered to be successful in my field as I was able to shadow important laboratory techniques in person, thus gaining a higher understanding of how they are carried out and their purpose(s).
