Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
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.

Description of contents: programme
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.
Learning activities and methodology
The knowledge and attitude skills will be acquired by students through an internship in a company or organization for a specific period of time. The course will be structured as follows: 1) The academic tutor will conduct specific information sessions with the students on the subject, with the aim of providing information on the guidelines to be followed. 2) The students will be invited by the companies for selection interviews. 3) Once the selection process is complete, the student will submit their offer for validation by the academic tutor. 4) Once the internship is validated, the student will join the company for a minimum of 450 hours. 5) During their stay at the company, the student will have a tutor in the company to direct, guide, and supervise the student's activities. 6) To properly monitor the internship, the student must regularly email their academic advisor, indicating the tasks they perform at the company, the training they receive, their relationship with their advisor and other colleagues, as well as any other relevant aspects. 7) Finally, within a maximum of 15 days after the end of the internship, the student must complete a report on the internship for evaluation.
Assessment System
The mark will be based on: - 30%: Student's report in which the most significant aspects of the experience in terms of activities, tasks, learning and management will be detailed and evaluated. The mark will take into account the level of contribution of the aforementioned aspects, as well as the writing and presentation of the report and the analytical capacity of the student. - 70%: Report of the company on their perception about student's work.

The course syllabus may change due academic events or other reasons.
