ATTENTION PLEASE: The internship for the thesis activity can be done in part or for the entire period in a structure external to the University of Pavia. In this case approval from the Thesis Supervisor and the Didactic Council of Agri-food Sustainability is required.
It is also MANDATORY to inform the Student Career Office about that in advance via Filo Diretto, so that they can proceed to activate the required insurance coverage.
