Internship regulations.

Internships are a key element of your training. Gaining experience after what you have learned in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your curriculum) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).

In order to do an internship in a company, you will need to have passed 50% of the credits and enrol in the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor and also involve interim and final reports for assessment.

If you would like to improve your work experience before finishing your university studies, you can do an internship. You can do them in any academic year, but we remind you that internships are a training complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.

You get 1,200 hours of clinical practice training from the second year, with special rotations in the neurology and cardiorespiratory department.
