Content
Work placement will be done basically in different companies of Barcelona and metropolitan area with which the corresponding collaboration agreements have been established for this purpose.
The content of the practicum wil be variable and will depend on the recipient entity of the student, but in any case the academic tutor will ensure that it is about the development of activities in which the student can learn significantly.
Methodology
In July, twenty-five students will be able to enroll based on their academic expedient. The remaining ten to fifteen places will open during the month of September (second half of September 2020). Students wishing to apply for one of these places must fill out an application for academic management. If there is more demand than supply of places, the selection criteria will be the academic transcript.
Students who have entered the subject of external internships will be able to bring their internship proposal within a period established by the Faculty (first week of October 2020). The maximum number of accepted internship proposals will be five. An Internship Committee will validate that the internship proposals submitted comply with the training requirements of the subject and will select the internships in case the proposals are higher than the offer. Accepted internships will be resolved during the second half of October 2020.
