Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
The daily completion of the internship placement is generally incompatible with the attendance to other subjects of the degree. Therefore, it is recommended to enroll in this course only for students in the fourth course of the degree. This course there are only two compulsory subjects offered at the evening, in order to provide students with the compatibility between their regular study and work placements. But if you have materials from other courses, you may find it difficult to attend classes. Even if you do not have subjects from previous courses, few companies may impose time incompatiblilities, with the implicit risk of delaying the completion of your studies (the students accept this risk when enrolling in this subject). Once enrolled in the subject, students will receive specific instructions for the internship allocation process in the list of valid companies approved by the vice-deans team. WARNING- By the nature of this subject, the schedule for implementation of practices may not exactly match the corresponding academic semester but other periods depending on each internship position offered by the different companies.
