Internships are a key component of your training. Acquiring experience after what you have learnt in your degree programme is the best way to enter the employment market. There are two types of internships: curricular—which are included in your study plan—and extracurricular—which you can do on a voluntary basis.
In order to complete curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and to register the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship coordinator, and they are evaluated by midterm and final reports.
If you want to take your work experience to the next level before finishing your university education, you can pursue an extracurricular internship. You can do them in any academic year, but keep in mind that internships are a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your studies, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.

Curricular internships are offered in leading companies, NGOs, international organizations or public institutions. Students intern for 225 hours in the final year of the Bachelor’s in International Relations. The goal is to place the student in an educational context in a real working environment that allows them to learn and apply information comprehensively and allows them to engage with the professional world. The establishment in which the student can complete their internship is determined by the Bachelor’s Academic Coordinators, based on the student profile, their academic results and the requirements set out by the establishments themselves. In this way, we can guarantee the success of the internship and ensure students are well prepared for their professional career.
