Description of contents: programme
The aim of this course is the development of a real professional practice experience in companies, institutions and organizations that carry out applied social research activities.

To this end, an eight-week stay is carried out with different modalities: - Consulting - Evaluation research in any of its stages - Sociological research in any of its stages
Learning activities and methodology
The methodology of Professional Internships is different from other academic subjects. Each company or institution receives one or more students and sets a tutor who becomes responsible for coordinating the tasks performed by the students during their stay. The learning process is based on participation in daily activities of the company or institution in the field of applied social research. In addition to the tutor of the institution, there is a teacher responsible for the Practicum. Both of them are in permanent contact with each other and also with students over the period of their stay.
Assessment System
Students are assessed from: a) Their daily behaviour over the period (4 points) - Punctuality (1) - Regularity in attendance (1) - Integration into the company/institution (attitude) (1) - Competence (1) b) A report which should be submitted by the students.
