The Diploma Supplement (DS) is a document founded by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and Unesco/Cepes as part of the Bologna Process to facilitate the standardization of qualifications on a European and international scale. The document is opportune both for those students continuing studies in academic institutes as well as for those entering the world of work.
The document must be filled out in English and in Italian. It supplements and completes the official qualification containing a description of the knowledge and expertise acquired by the student at the end of the chosen course as well as a general description of the national education system.
The document summarizes the following in 8 sections: personal data, educational qualification, level of qualification, information on contents and results gained, function of qualification, additional information, certification of the supplement, description of the national higher education system. Once the document is filled out by the student inserting the title within the Italian Qualification Framework (QTI) it can then be compared to the European Qualification Framework (EQF)
The DS is issued to all Graduates of degree courses (under the new education system) according to Law n.508 dated the 21st of December 1999

Internships and Apprenticeships
The terms “internship” and “apprenticeship” are commonly considered synonyms. While there are some similarities between them, the two are inherently different. Mainly speaking the internship is a voluntary or in any case optional activity of work based learning while the apprenticeship is a compulsory step in a training or professional path so-called work based training.
With this premise in mind, the terms “internship” and “apprenticeship” will be considered synonyms for their administrative activation procedures.
At the moment, the Internship and Apprenticeship Office activates the curricular internships as set out in the study plan of every single First and Second Level course. All students duly enrolled are eligible.
The duration of the internship is calculated on the basis of the maximum number of academic credits (CFA) indicated in the study plan of the relevant course. Its activation includes a number of different phases which involve a promoter, in this case, the Accademia, a host and the student. The process concludes with the signing of an agreement and an individual training programme.
Apprenticeships can be activated following a direct contact between the student and the host company/organization, subject to the authorization of the Internship and Apprenticeship Office, between the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and the host company/organization or following the request on behalf of the host company/organization to the Internship and Apprenticeship Office.
The student, in order to activate his internship, must:
The host, for its part, must:
The Internship and Traineeships Office accepts the activation requests submitted by students and examines the documents sent by the host subject by filling in the fields pertaining to the promoter, inserting the letterhead, printing them and sending them for stipulation through the student.
At the end of the apprenticeship, the tutor of the host organization must download the “Final Internship Report by the host tutor” fill it in item by item, use the letterhead of the host organization/company, print it in duplicate copies, sign it, stamp it and consign it to the student or alternatively send it to the Internship and Apprenticeship Office by registered post.
The student must take the necessary steps to contact his or her teacher/tutor, arrange for them to compile and sign the “Final Internship Report by apprentice’s didactic tutor”. Students must compile their part and sign the Report and subsequently submit the Report to the Internship and Apprenticeship Office.
Internship and Apprenticeship Office once all the final apprenticeship documents have been obtained, the Office takes the necessary steps to evaluate their accuracy and then proceeds with the registration on the online secretariat.
Companies and public and private bodies looking for profiles between students and graduates of our Academy can submit curricular / extracurricular or job / collaboration internship offers by filling out the appropriate online form.
The form will be received by the Internship and Internship Office which, having assessed the adequacy of the offer, will forward it to students or graduates who meet the required requirements. The latter, if interested, can send their application directly to the bidder.
The Internship and Internship Office activates curricular internships (aimed at students who have not yet graduated) for a maximum total duration of 150 hours, to be carried out in part-time or full-time mode, which can be distributed over one or more months.
Extra-curricular internships (aimed at graduates), currently not managed by the Internship and Internship Office, can be activated through:
