Tirocinio e prova pratico valutativa
The Practical Evaluative Internship (TPV)
the Practical Evaluative Internship (Tirocinio Pratico Valutativo - TPV) must be carried out at UniTrento in case of a single semester mobility;
the Practical Evaluative Internship (Tirocinio Pratico Valutativo - TPV) will be carried out at UAI in case of a two-semester mobility.
The TPV carried out during mobility must comply with the characteristics, content and duration required by the specific regulations governing TPVs.
Practical Evaluative Examination
Upon completion of the TPV, it is necessary to pass the Practical Evaluative Examination (Prova Pratica Valutativa, PPV)
Only in the case of two-semester mobility, which involves carrying out the TPV during mobility, can the PPV be carried out at UniTrento or at UAI (remotely connected to UniTrento).
The contents and rules of the PPV are available in the specific Information Note.
Passing the PPV is mandatory and binding for access to the discussion of the Master's thesis.
Thesis and qualifications
In case of a 2-semester mobility, the thesis may be carried out and discussed at UAI and must be supervised by professors from both institutions.
At the end of the double degree programme, students will obtain two separate second-cycle degrees:
- from UAI: Master's Degree in Psychology (Department of Psychology)
- from UniTrento: Master's Degree in Psychology (Department of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences) - Laurea Magistrale in Psicologia – classe LM 51;
NB: The Chilean qualification will only qualify the student to practise as a psychologist in Chile if they have obtained a bachelor's degree from UniTrento.
