Students wishing to enroll in the practicum must complete a pre-enrollment with the faculty. Details concerning the pre-enrollment 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.
An initial level C1 (CEFR) of French is required. This level may vary according to the needs of the collaborating companies or institutions. Eventually, a test may be required by the coordinator before enrollment.

Objectives and Contextualisation
The internships are offered during the third and fourth year of the degree.
Completion of the internship allows the student to:
- Make contact with an interesting professional area during his/her training period
- Acquire a knowledge of tasks related to this field
- Develop professional competence in a field related to studies undertaken during the degree.
Competences
- French Studies
- Students can apply the knowledge to their own work or vocation in a professional manner and have the powers generally demonstrated by preparing and defending arguments and solving problems within their area of study.
- Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their study area) to issue judgments that include reflection on important issues of social, scientific or ethical.
- Students must be capable of communicating information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Students must develop the necessary learning skills in order to undertake further training with a high degree of autonomy.
Learning Outcomes
- Accessing electronic information sources and producing and communicating this information in electronic format.
- Accurately using the specific terminology of human sciences.
- Carrying out a planning for the development of a subject-related work.
- Using the available resources about the knowledge of humanistic areas.
- Using the techniques of cataloguing, transcription, critical edition, study, analysis and dissemination of the cultural heritage in a professional way.
Content
Specific educational cooperation agreements will be signed by each student enrolled, the collaborating institution and the UAB, in order to establish the regulatory framework under which the internship can be carried out.
The regulatory framework for internships includes two different modes:
- An internship signed by an external collaborating partner and UAB. The UAB will sign as many specific agreements as there are students enrolled in this mode.
- Internships within the ambit of the UAB, related to research projects within the departments offering the relevant degree programme. In this case, the internship will be established by signing a work experience agreement with the UAB, which specifies conditions, according to an official model.
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).
Before pre-enrollment, the Academic Administration will publish the list of places and the type of entities in which the internships can be carried out

Methodology
The specific training offered depends on the professional activity of the collaborating institution.
The teaching will be distributed in i) classroom hours in the host company or institution, ii) hours for the preparation of the final report, iii) hours of tutoring with the academic tutor / responsible for the subject and, eventually, iv) theoretical sessions (ex. Course on occupational hazards, etc.).
The hours of dedication are around 125 hours, i.e. approximately 42 days of 3 hours (morning or afternoon) or 25 days of 5 hours (intensive formula).
In any case, two tutorial sessions (face-to-face or virtual) will be proposed during the internship period (start and end). The tutor will keep a record of the meetings by means of a minute.

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.

Assessment
At the end of the internship the following reports will be presented to the academic tutor in the relevant field of study:
- The tutor in the collaborating institution will issue a final report, showing the number of hours completed, with relation to the generic and specific competences wich appear in the training project, within a maximum period of 15 days, following the model established.
- Students will prepare a final report with an assessment of tasks completed and their relation to knowledge and skills acquired in their university studies. The student must hand in this report as a prerequisite for the final evaluation.
- Dates for delivery of this report are: 31/01/2020 for first term internships, 26/06/2020 for second term internships.
- Academic tutor report: based on previous reports and tutorials.
NOTE:
- Students who complete less than 10% of contact hours with the collaborating institution will be marked as "No avaluable".
- Students who complete more than 10% but fail to complete the hours specified in the agreement, or are evaluated negatively, will be marked as "Suspès" (Fail).
- Given that external placements are assessed in distinct ways, in addition to the fact that this grade is only optionally given, the final overall grade of Excellent with Distinction is not available.
- Internships cannot be re-evaluated.
