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

To do a curricular internship in a company, you’ll need to have passed 50% of the credits and enrol on the course before you start work. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor, as well as interim and final reports for evaluation.

If you want to improve your work experience before completing your university studies, you can do an extracurricular internship. You can do them in any academic year, but remember that internships complement your studies, so the more knowledge you acquire throughout your degree, the more you’ll benefit from the internship experience.
