Internships in companies are a key component of your education. Gaining practical experience by applying the knowledge acquired during your degree programme is one of the best ways to enter the labour market. There are two types of internships: curricular internships (included in your study plan) and extracurricular internships (which you can undertake voluntarily).

To undertake curricular internships in companies, you must have successfully completed at least 50% of the credits required for your degree and enrolled in the corresponding internship module before starting your placement. These internships are supervised by both the company and the academic internship tutor. You will also be required to submit interim and final reports as part of the assessment process.

If you wish to enhance your professional experience before completing your university studies, you can undertake extracurricular internships. These can be completed at any stage of your degree programme. However, it is important to remember that internships are intended to complement your academic studies. Therefore, the more knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout your degree, the greater the benefit you will gain from your internship experience.
