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). Any level is accepted, provided it specifies your CEFR level and has been awarded following a final exam.
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 tirocini.lettere@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.
 

La prova finale consisterà nella presentazione e discussione di un elaborato scritto e/o multimediale, di entità commisurata alla quantità di crediti formativi assegnati, di fronte a una commissione di docenti, di cui faccia parte il relatore che ha seguito le fasi di ricerca e stesura della tesi. L'elaborato dovrà approfondire un argomento relativo alle materie di studio e potrà basarsi anche sull'esperienza di tirocinio e stage offerti durante il percorso formativo. Nella presentazione e discussione il candidato dovrà dimostrare la capacità di utilizzare le conoscenze teoriche e gli strumenti metodologici e applicativi acquisiti mediante le attività didattiche previste dal percorso formativo.

To prepare and defend your thesis, the first step is to contact a supervisor well in advance. You need to choose a course and a professor: the course must be part of your learning path (study plan), but the professor can be any faculty member at Sapienza who teaches the relevant subject. It’s important you reach out to the supervisor early enough to agree on the topic, write the thesis, and complete revisions. The timeframe will depend both on the professor’s availability and your commitment to completing the work.
Your thesis must be at least 30 pages, with each page consisting of 1,800 characters, including spaces. During the writing process, you will work closely with your supervisor, who will guide you through revisions. If your project is interdisciplinary, a second supervisor may be involved. As for formatting and referencing, you may follow your supervisor’s preferred style, which could be APA, MLA, Harvard, or another system.

The second step is to submit the graduation application through the Infostud platform (you are kindly requested to adhere to the deadlines and follow the official tutorial for the application process).

Finally, the thesis defense typically lasts about 15 minutes. The supervisor will begin by introducing your work briefly, after which you will present your thesis in 5–7 minutes; if you choose, you can use a PowerPoint presentation. The Committee may ask questions or provide comments. Once the discussion is over, you will leave the room while the Committee deliberates and assigns a score to the thesis, ranging from 0 to 5 points; no extra points are awarded for graduating on time, participating in mobility programmes, or obtaining honours (lodi). The final grade will be calculated by adding the score for the thesis to your grade point average, which is based on a scale of 110.
After the Committee decision, you will be called back to hear the final decision and participate in the graduation proclamation.
