    Employability and Internships

    Internships are a key part of your education. Acquiring experience and putting into practice what you have learned during your degree is the best way to enter the employment market. There are two types of internship: curricular (which are included as part of your programme) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).

    The Master’s in Sports Marketing offers you the chance to complete internships at some of the most renowned sports brands, organisations and marketing agencies. In addition, selected students can undertake internships at the Real Madrid Marketing Department.

    In order to carry out an internship in a company, you’ll need to have passed 50% of your credits and have registered before you start the internship. Both the company and a professor on your course shall monitor your progress on the internship and shall provide you with an evaluation at the half-way mark and upon completion.

    If you want to gain extra work experience before completing your university studies, you are welcome to carry out extracurricular internships. You can carry out an internship in whichever year of your studies you choose, but we would like to remind you that they are formative and should complement your studies. The more theoretical knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you shall benefit from an internship.

    PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

    The internship period shall take place during or after the programme in collaborating companies. At the end of this period, students shall write a report summarising their activities. Companies shall select students after evaluating their C.V.s and the skills they have developed on the course.
