In general, internships in companies or institutions are not compatible with attending classes for other subjects in the degree program. To enroll in this course, students must have completed a minimum of 110 ECTS credits from their study plan. Additionally, some institutions may present scheduling conflicts, which could potentially delay the completion of the degree. Students should assume this risk upon enrolling in the course. Once enrolled, students will receive specific instructions regarding the procedures to follow. Important Note: Due to the nature of this course, internship schedules may not align precisely with the academic semester. Depending on the placement offered by each participating institution, internships may take place during different periods of the academic year.

The student will acquire/put into practice: - Ability to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired throughout the courses in a real context. - Capacity for analysis and synthesis, time and information management, organisation and planning. - Skills related to initiative and creativity, adaptation to new situations, negotiation skills, setting priorities, networking and teamwork and autonomy to work without supervision. - Knowledge and skills to assume, propose and develop certain aspects of applied sociological research. - Knowledge of the functioning of organizations and learning of behaviour models in professional environments - Acquire real work experience that facilitates subsequent access to the world of work - Ability to evaluate the first experience of immersion in the working environment: self-analysis of strengths and weaknesses

The aim of the subject is for students to develop a real professional practice experience in companies, institutions and organisations that carry out activities aimed at providing a practical complement to academic training, provided that these activities are related to the contents of the degree and their professional opportunities. It is therefore conceived as a bridge between the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired and the reality of the world of work. Students must complete 300 hours of internship to complete the 12 credits.

The course will run as follows: 1. The academic tutor informs the students about the guidelines to be followed in an information session. 2. Students look for their own internships (either through the Employment Service's Job Bank or through their own contacts). 3. Once accepted, an educational cooperation agreement between the University Carlos III and the entity is set up if it does not already exist. 4. An annex to the agreement is processed which allows the incorporation of the student to carry out an internship for a minimum of 300 hours in the entity. 5. The student will have a tutor at the entity or company in order to direct, guide and supervise his/her activity during the period. 6. The student writes a report on the placement for its evaluation and ensures that the tutor at the entity sends his/her own evaluation report directly to the academic tutor. During his/her stay at the entity, the student may consult with the academic tutor about any doubts or problems. Detailed information on the procedure can be found in the Aula Global Virtual Secretary's board

To evaluate the knowledge and skills of the stay carried out by the student, two reports will be taken into account: - A report provided by the tutor in the company or organization on the internship carried out. - A written report made by the student, delivered within the established period of time. Through these two reports, the academic tutor will grade the subject. The subject only has one call per academic year. Percentage weight of the report of the tutor of the institution where the practices are carried out: 70% Percentage weight of the student's report: 30%
