Internships are a key element in your training. Gaining experience after 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 course 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.
Undertake your internship in relevant institutions such as the Spanish Olympic Committee, the Spanish Sports Council, Mutua Madrid Open, KMPG, Spanish Tennis Federation, Holmes Place, Sanitas or the AFE (Spanish Footballers' Association).
We have agreements with football clubs, large fitness chains such as Go Fit, sporting events, active tourism companies, public administrations and FAGDE. You are also connected to the industry as a member of the Círculo de Gestores Deportivos de Madrid (Madrid Sports Managers Circle).
