Teaching and learning activities

In person



CURRICULAR internships are monitored by the company tutor, who establishes a different methodology for each student and guides them in the performance of their internships.

The intern coordinator has an initial interview with the student to guide him in the choice of internships, as well as help him prepare the curriculum and interview. 

Finally, the student must present all relevant documents for the evaluation of the subject (see section on evaluation).

The student will not be able to start making practices until the necessary conventions are signed. The deadline for implementing these conventions is as follows:

- Terms of delivery of the agreements entered into - UIC: 7 working days (if there was no previous agreement signed with the company).

- Terms of delivery contract undertaken - UIC - student: 5 working days (in all cases).

Important considerations:

1. Students will be able to practice throughout the academic year (September to August).

2. Extracurricular practices carried out before the summer of 3rd cannot be validated as curriculars. Work experience in the summer of 3rd to 4th can be considered as curriculars with the prior case study of those responsible for the subject and the Board of the Faculty.

3. All practical agreements will be 300 hours (both curricular and extracurricular). After these hours, it will be possible to renew the agreement – or hire the pupil – if both parties (company-pupil) so decide.
