    Internships

    External internship regulations

    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 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 extra-curricular 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.

    Employability

    After studying tourism in Valencia, you will be able to anticipate, adapt to and take advantage of the many economic, political, social and cultural phenomena that impact this sector. Becoming a versatile and strategic professional increasingly in demand by companies.

    • Management of tourism companies.
    • Planning of tourist destinations.
    • Management and touristic advantage of products and activities concerning natural resources, sports, and in particular, all leisure-related developments.
