Internships are a key component of your education. Acquiring experience after what you have learned on your degree 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 interim and final reports are prepared for evaluation.

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.

These are some of the companies where you will be able to do an internship:

The Bachelor's Degree in Psychology provides a comprehensive, evidence-based education that equips students for professional practice, innovation, and research in the field. Graduates are prepared as generalist professionals, skilled in assessing and intervening across various contexts such as educational, family, workplace, and social settings, among others. Additionally, the degree opens pathways to clinical and healthcare roles through the Master's in General Health Psychology or the PIR (Resident Psychologist) training program. It also offers access to non-clinical fields through specialized Master's programs (e.g., Child and Adolescent Psychology, Psychogeriatrics, Eating Disorders, Legal and Forensic Psychology, Human Resources, Social Intervention, Neuropsychology, etc.).

Graduates are trained to identify needs and challenges in individuals and groups, and to carry out evidence-based assessments and interventions in a technical, innovative, and ethical manner. This training applies to established professional areas such as clinical and health psychology, educational psychology, occupational psychology, and social intervention, as well as emerging fields like crisis intervention and psychology related to disability and dependency.
