Practicum involves the assistance to a workcenter in the conditions established by companies regarding duration, schedule, requirements and tasks involved in the practice, untill completing a minimum period of hours of work. Intership must allow the student to follow the course normally. Once in the workcenter, students, under the supervision of a tutor, should put into practice the knowledge learned during their training at University, and fully integrate into a workplace (to atend with strict punctuality, to establish correct relations with colleagues, to cope with the activities requiered by the staff in the company with diligence and professionalism, etc.). However, the subject offers the posibility to validate interships other than the ones managed by the professors to those students who meet the requirements.

The written document must be handed in the oral presentation act and the date set for that purpose. Written documents submited out the deadline wont be accepted.
