AAF2009 TRAINING AND ORIENTATION INTERNSHIPS and AAF2008 OTHER USEFUL SKILLS FOR INCLUSION IN THE JOB MARKET

Beside the exams, before graduation you need to earn credits from other activities which are consistent with the objectives of the Global Humanities programme and which will be registered in your transcript of records as AAF2009 TRAINING AND ORIENTATION INTERNSHIPS and AAF2008 OTHER USEFUL SKILLS FOR INCLUSION IN THE JOB MARKET; they amount to 15 credits altogether and, since 1 credit is worth 25 hours, to obtain them you need to work 375 hours. To learn more about how to get an internship position, please visit the "Apprenticeship" section below.
While the credits can only be registered, upon booking through Infostud, in your third year, you may as well earn them earlier. In case you’re not able to get an offer for a real internship, either proposed by Sapienza or by you, you have two more possibilities to earn the required credits:

1) IT certificates
Certificates should refer to IT courses, in Italy or abroad, and should include the results of a final exam, detailing your grade and level.
All certificates must be in pdf format, named exclusively with your surname and first name and uploaded here. Once submitted, a certificate cannot be employed again to obtain other credits.

 
2) Conferences, seminars, webinars, courses and other activities relevant to GH studies
Both Sapienza and the Global Humanities programme occasionally organise activities which award credits and which will be announced here.
For conferences, seminars and webinars, you will have to ask the attendance certificate and write a report. Both documents must be in pdf format, named exclusively with your surname and first name and uploaded here.
 
Credits will be granted as follows:

• 1 credit = 6 hours (conference, seminar etc.) + essay (2000 words, spaces excluded)
• 2 credits= 12 hours (conference, seminar, etc.) + essay (2000 words, spaces excluded)
• 3 credits = 18 hours (conference, seminar, etc.) + essay (2000 words, spaces excluded)
• 4 credits = 24 hours (conference, seminar, etc.) + essay (2000 words, spaces excluded)

AAF2007 OTHER LANGUAGE SKILLS
Finally, you also need to obtain 6 credits from knowledge of a third language, which will be registered in your transcript of records as AAF2007 OTHER LANGUAGE SKILLS. While the credits can only be registered, upon booking through Infostud, in your third year, you may still gain the relevant knowledge earlier.

Language certificates are accepted only if they refer to languages other than your mother tongue and/or a second official language of your country of origin. In case you got a different citizenship before enrolling to Global Humanities, the language of your adoptive country is equalled to your country of origin and therefore cannot be used to get the credits of Other Language Skills.
English is accepted only in case the last level certified is higher than the entry level submitted during the enrolment process (i.e. if your entry level was B1 you can present a certificate attesting an higher language level, like B2, C1 etc.; in no case the same certificate used to fulfill the admission requirements can be also used to get the credits of Other Language Skills). For other languages, any level is accepted, provided it has been awarded following a final exam and specifies your CEFR level.
All certificates must be in pdf format, named exclusively with your surname and first name and uploaded here. Once submitted, a certificate cannot be employed again to obtain other credits.

AAF2009 TRAINING AND ORIENTATION INTERNSHIPS and AAF2008 OTHER USEFUL SKILLS FOR INCLUSION IN THE JOB MARKET

The internship is a practical activity required for earning the degree, which awards credits and which you need necessarily to carry out before graduation; the relative credits will be registered in your transcript of records as AAF2009 TRAINING AND ORIENTATION INTERNSHIPS and AAF2008 OTHER USEFUL SKILLS FOR INCLUSION IN THE JOB MARKET; they amount to 15 credits altogether and, since 1 credit is worth 25 hours, to obtain them you need to work 375 hours.
While the credits can only be registered, upon booking through Infostud, in your third year, you may still carry out the internship earlier. For an internship to be activated, it is necessary to identify an organisation or an institution willing to host the training. You have two possibilities:

1) Internship at an organisation or an institution that already has an agreement with Sapienza
You may choose an organisation or an institution that already has an agreement with Sapienza applying through the TSP portal. Please, read carefully the FAQ and remember: once the Progetto Formativo has been approved, you must have it signed by the host institution, sign it in your turn and send it to simona.tortora@uniroma1.it. This procedure must be fulfilled before the starting date of the internship, in order to activate it, otherwise the insurance won’t be operating and the internship won’t be valid.
All internships available on the TSP portal are automatically accepted by the appointed Committee.

2) Internship proposed by the student
If you wish to carry out an internship in an organisation or an institution other than those with which Sapienza has an agreement, you must upload, in pdf format, the agreement, drawn up according to this model and signed - preferably digitally - by the legal representative of the organisation or institution or their delegate. The document must be exclusively in pdf format, and it must be named with the sole indication of your name and the name of the organisation or institution with which the agreement is to be drawn up. If the an organisation or institution does not have a digital signature, the agreement must be signed on a letterhaead with a handwritten signature. The pdf signed must be uploaded here. 

In case you’re not able to get an offer for a real internship, either proposed by Sapienza or by you, you have other possibilities to earn the required credits. To learn more, please visit the "Other training activities that award credits" section above.
For further clarifications, please contact the appointed Committee at aaf.globalhumanities@uniroma1.it.
 

A peer-mentoring service is offered to first-year students, willing to study with a senior Global Humanities student and to receive advice, orientation and help.
The service will resume from 3 September and will be available on Wednesdays, from 10:00 to 14:00. You’re welcome to contact our tutor Omid Salehi at salehi.1961285@studenti.uniroma1.it or pay a visit to him at our Orientation Center, in the glass-walled room on the third floor of the Marco Polo Building, to arrange private and customised study sessions.
