Internships
Internships in companies are a key element of your education. Gaining experience after what you have learned in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your study plan) and extracurricular (those you can undertake voluntarily).
To complete curricular internships in companies, you will need to have passed 50% of your credits and enroll in the internship course before starting your placement. These internships are monitored both by the company and the internship supervisor, and require the submission of interim and final reports for evaluation.
If you want to enhance your professional experience before completing your university studies, you can undertake extracurricular internships. You may do them at any stage of your degree, but keep in mind that internships are a complement to your academic training; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your studies, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.
