Professional practices
Internships are a key element of your training. Gaining experience beyond what you've learned in your degree is the best way to put your acquired knowledge into practice, learn about different professional situations, and enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your curriculum) and extracurricular (which you can do voluntarily).
To carry out the curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and enroll in the subject before starting your internship. These practices are monitored by the company and the internship teacher, as well as the preparation of intermediate and final reports for evaluation.
If you want to improve your work experience before completing your university education, you can do extracurricular internships. You can do them in any course but we remind you that the practices are a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.
