The Internship will be developed during the months of June, July and August
The master direction will provide the students with options for internships in one of the many collaborating institutions that already have agreements with the university, and will guide students in choosing the institution which best suits their research topic. If any student would like to undertake an internship with any other institution not listed in our database, he/she must approach the institution and obtain the placement.
The objective of the internship is for the students to gain practical experience in the field of international cooperation. The internship will develop their theoretical knowledge gained in the Master.
The internship is one of the key elements in the student’s education. It’s purpose is to give students experience and capacities in:
A Direct contact with emergency situaciones and/or development

The institutions will assign an advisor for the student who is responsible to plan, coordinate and supervise the internships. During the internship period, the advisor will control, verify and when possible help the student to integrate into a way of working in a new environment with new demands.
