External internship rules
Internships are a key component of your training. Acquiring experience after what you have learnt in 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 registered 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.
In addition to theoretical training and simulation practice, you will receive practical clinical training from the first academic year in prestigious institutions, including:
In addition to the institutions that collaborate with our students’ internships, other centres collaborate with teaching: Ministry of Defense; Grupo Luria; José Germain Psychiatric Institute; and Sociedad Española de Psicología Aplicada a Desastres Urgencias y Emergencias (SEPADEM).
