Learning outcomes of the subject
The subject directly relates to the practice of the profession and, therefore, the completion of the subject must ensure that the student has the necessary knowledge in their future work because of the learning received during the Practicum.
Syllabus
The course comprises two blocks of practical training centres (A and B). Each student must undertake practical training at one centre in each block (approximately 7 credits at each centre), or in other words, each student will undertake practical training at two different centres. In block A, the practical training is mainly carried out at the Technical Advisory Service in the Family Field (EATAF), the Specialised Service in Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation (SERPI), and the Brians 1 (UHPP), Brians 2, CP Quatre Camins and CP Joves prisons. In block B, the placements take place at different centres belonging to Hestia Alliance and Parc Salut Mar, and at various private practices (Dr Ortega-Monasterio, Ms Navas, Ms Vizcaíno, Ms Micciola and Ms Gassó). Compulsory visits to different centres and attendance at court hearings are also included.
Teaching and learning activities
In person
The compulsory subject of 14 credits (about 250-300 hours) that corresponds to the Practicum is developed directly in centers with which the International University of Catalonia (UIC) signs teaching collaboration agreements. The main objective of the Practicum is that the student has direct contact and experience with the application of clinical psychopathology in the field of forensic, criminological, legal and legal sciences.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
Attendance is compulsory. Students must also write a report at the end of each internship period, highlighting the knowledge they have acquired. Similarly, the tutor will write an internship report for each student.
The final score will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained at the two training centres.
Bibliography and resources
