Internships are a key component of your academic training and an essential step towards entering the job market. They allow you to apply the knowledge acquired throughout your degree in a real professional environment.

There are two types of internships: curricular internships, which are included in the study programme, and extracurricular internships, which may be undertaken on a voluntary basis.

To undertake curricular internships in companies, students must have completed at least 50% of their credits and be enrolled in the corresponding module prior to starting the internship. These internships are supervised by both the host organisation and an academic tutor, and require the submission of interim and final reports for assessment.

Students wishing to enhance their professional experience before completing their degree may undertake extracurricular internships. These can be carried out during any academic year. However, as internships are intended to complement academic training, the greater the knowledge acquired during the degree, the more beneficial the internship experience will be.
