None specific one. Depending on the work to be developed and/or the assigned place, it may be necessary to have a certain competence of a foreign language and/or Catalan/Spanish (the last one is of special interest for foreign students). The external internship previously selected can be denied in case the language requirement can not be guaranteed. It is also advisable to have your own car and/or to be able to access easily to public transport because the practices will usually involve traveling.
The Department of Geography will offer a range of places to develop external internship but it is also recommended that the student search for their own contacts; it is the best way to ensure that the student will end up doing the external internship where he/she really is interested in.
The objective of the subject is for the student to make a external internshio under the supervision of a tutor in a private sector company or in a public entity, in which he/she must take charge of the tasks entrusted to him/her. That tasks, prior agreement with the coordinator of the subject, will be related to one of the topics related to the contents of the master. Choosing the company/entity for practices will be done taking into account the interests expressed by the student as well as the needs of the place and the real possibilities according to the agreements signed with the Department of Geography.
The student must demonstrate their ability to learn the necessary methodologies and techniques for a proper exercise of professional activity in the field of Geography, as well as the application of the acquired knowledge in the workplace.
Carry out an internship in a private or public company under the supervision of a tutor and the coordinator of the subject. The stay is usually in the second semester although there is the possibility of doing it before, and its duration is determined by the total number of credits of the subject (6). They can even be done or extended during the summer of the academic year but in any case it must be completed before the start of the new academic year (at the latest the 1st week of September). It must be borne in mind that not all the theoretical hours involved in these credits will be allocated to the stay, strictu sensu, in the workplace, but a small part also includes a presentation meeting, the writting of the monitoring reports (2) and the final report. In all, it will take around 140 hours.
For information purposes, the companies and entities with which we have collaborated in the last courses are the following:
In any case, every year work is done to expand the list of entities in order to offer the student a wide range of possibilities.
Being a subject without teaching there is no strictu sensu methodology. However, attending this subject implies the realization of:
There will be a Moodle in which the main reference documents of the subject will be published (models of agreement, model of reports, list of places of confirmed external internship, a table of control or monitoring of the external intership for each of the students, etc. ). The student will have to consult and / or download assiduously.
ATTENTION: Depending on the evolution of the current health crisis (summer 2020) of COVID-19, the possibility of having to do the practices electronically, either in whole or in part, should not be ruled out.

During the external internship period the student will have to submit two monitoring reports, the first one shortly after having started and the second before the internship ends. Its purpose is to detect possible anomalies or aspects that do not conform to the agreements of the agreement of practices, and try to correct them in time.
VERY IMPORTANT: Total or partial plagiary of any of the exercises will automatically be considered “fail” (0) for the plagiarized item. Plagiary is copying one or more sentences from unidentified sources, presenting it as original work (THIS INCLUDES COPYING PHRASES OR FRAGMENTS FROM THE INTERNET AND ADDING THEM WITHOUT MODIFICATION TO A TEXT WHICH IS PRESENTED AS ORIGINAL). Plagiarism is a serious offense. Students must learn to respect the intellectual property of others, identifying any source they may use, and take responsibility for the originality and authenticity of the texts they produce.
