If during the compilation of your CV on Jobsoul, the system reports some error, the block is likely due to incorrect filling.  We recommend you make changes to your CV on the platform (and then apply a new spontaneous application for an internship at the company) by paying attention to the following:

- Select the Faculty of Political Science, Sociology and Communication, and NOT the Faculty of Communication Sciences.
- In the "Degree Program" section, select your master’s degree Program from the drop-down menu that will appear as soon as you begin typing
- In the "Last Year Attended" section, indicate the solar year in which you are applying for internship activation
- The application must be for a company that already has an agreement with Sapienza for curricular internships (this can be seen by the presence or absence of the "Sapienza" logo below the name of the host institution), or for an opportunity aimed at students from your own degree course (the list of Degree Courses accepted for each application are indicated within the individual internship opportunity).

The internship training project is created by the company after their acceptance of the student's application on the Jobsoul portal. The Project is created by filling out the appropriate form, saving it as a draft, and sending it in a request for approval.

For more information about the procedures for creating the internship training project, click here

The internship formative project must be approved by the referring professor of the Degree Course.
The procedure by which this is done is as follows: the Internship Office sends a draft of the Project to the student via email; the student must then send it to their referring professor, whose name will be indicated in the email received from the Internship Office. However, the list of referring professors can be seen at this link

The internship will be active when the Formative Project is signed by both the company tutor and the university tutor and the intern.

Exclusively via email before the internship start date. Insurance coverage and actual activation will occur after the signature of the three signatories.
