Within the "Assessment" section, there has been an error in not including the oral defense. The assessment will consist of the assessment made by the tutor of the company/technical service (50%), and the assessments, made by the coordinator of the subject, of the written thesis (25%) and the oral defense (25%).
It is recommended that students who enroll in the external academic practicum have passed the first two years of their degree and have completed 180 credits.
The main objective is that students can put into practice the knowledge acquired in the degree, bringing them closer to the reality of work and facilitate their future entry into the world of employment.
The entities who can participate in the programme are companies, spin-offs, technological centres, scientific-technical services and technical divisions of research centres and universities.
The content of the internship will depend on the nature of the company or institution where the internship will be performed.
Before starting the internship, the student should have:
- A workplan agreed with the company or institution and validated by the responsible of the External Internship.
- A collaboration official agreement between the institution and the UAB correctly completed and signed.
The external academic practicum can be carried out either during term time or during the summer.
The Student can perform the internship in companies, technological centres or scientific-technical services from the catalogue of proposals offered by the university, or other companies/institutions, either from the historical catalogue offered by the university or other companies chosen by the own Student who has previously contacted with the company/institution.
Before performing the internship, the Student should meet the responsible of the subject of External Internship, who should validate the proposal of company/institution.
The Student will meet the responsible person from the company/institution to agree in the following concepts:
- The workplan, with the specific tasks to be developed during the internship.
- The duration of the internship, the working hours, and the overall number of hours.
The Student will send this information to the responsible of the subject of External Internship to obtain the final validation. This will allow the Student to go to Academic Management services of the Faculty to request a model of agreement and process it in case of external institution (with respect to UAB).
The enrolment to the subject will be performed once the agreement is signed.
Once the agreement is signed by the three parties, the Student can perform the internship during the agreed period. It is not possible to start the internship if the agreement is not correctly filled and signed, with no enrolment in the subject or without the corresponding Insurance.
Once the internship has been completed, the Student should write a report according to the model uploaded in the Moodle classroom of the subject. This report should be delivered before the deadline.
The responsible of the company/institution will perform an evaluation following an stablished model, that will be delivered to the responsible of the subject during the evaluation period.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation Will be performed through a report to be presented (50% of the final mark) and an evaluation from the responsible from the external company/institution (50% of the final mark).
The report Will follow the indications found in the Moodle classroom of the subject, remarking the following points:
- The scientific and technical correctness of the performed work.
- The formal correctness (writing, organization, vocabulary, etc.) as well as the correct presentation.
The evaluation from the external responsible will be done according to a model delivered to him/her by the responsible of the subject of External Internships during the evaluation period.
To average the two components of the final mark, it is required to get, at least, 4 out of 10 points in each of these parts (evaluation from the responsible of the subject and from the company/institution where the internship is performed).
If the mark from the responsible from the company/institution where the internship has been performed is less than 4, the subject will have a final note of “fail”.
If the mark from the report/presentation is less than 4, the subject will be “not possible to be evaluated” and the student will have to rewrite and present the report again in the next call of the academic course.
The responsible professor will be able, when considered necessary, interview the student.
