Extracurricular internships
Extracurricular internships are periods of training undertaken by Bachelor's, Master's and single-cycle Master's graduates, as well as those who completed a Vocational Master's or Doctoral programme, within 12 months from graduation.
This type of internship:
- cannot last less than 2 months or more than 12 months

The host institution is also required to notify the start / extension / interruption of the internship through the COB system for mandatory notices.
