Students wishing to enrol in the practicum must complete a preinscription with the faculty. Details concerning the preinscription will be available on the faculty website.
The student must have passed all first year subjects, and obtained a total number of 120 credits from their first three years of study.
The student must be enrolled in the course before starting work with the collaborating institution.
The timetable for carrying out the internship must be compatible with the student's academic and training timetables in the University. The programme of internship activities will be laid down according to the characteristics and availability of the collaborating institution.
Since students enrolled in the internship will have obtained credits in basic training and mandatory second and third year subjects, it is expected that they will express themselves correctly both orally and in writing.
The course requires an initial level of English between C1 (Advanced) and C2 (Proficiency) (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment). Students with C1 can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning; they can express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions; they can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes; they can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices. With C2 students can understand almost everything they read or hear without effort; they can summarise information from different oral and written sources, reconstruct facts and arguments and present them in a coherent way; they can express themselves spontaneously, with fluency and precision, distinguishing subtle nuances of meaning even in the most complex situations.
The internships are offered during the third and fourth year of the degree.
Completion of the internship guarantees that the student will:
The regulatory framework for internships includes two different modes:
In both cases it is required that the student takes out an insurance policy covering civil responsibility and liability, given that the standard student insurance is insufficient. In order to validate this complementary policy contracted by the UAB, the student must pay a fee at the time of enrollment (estimated price: €6).
