Prerequisites
External Internships (PE) are an optional subject that is recommended to study in 4th course. To enroll, you must have passed at least all the first year subjects and a total of 120 credits from the first three years. In addition, criteria such as academic record, future employment interests or accredited knowledge and skills may be taken into account in assigning the PE post.
For the course Pràctiques Externes/Prácticas Externas students must preregister according to a calendar that is made public every year. The calendar can be consulted at the following link:
https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/grados/oferta-de-grados/informacion-1345722453729.html
Failure to preregister results in the impossibility to register for the course Pràctiques Externes/Prácticas Externas. A student will only be assigned an internship position if he/she has preregistered within the established deadline.
Registration will follow this procedure:
* Information meeting.
* Pre-registration through the Faculty's website.
* Sending a copy of the academic transcript in PDF with the average grade to the internship coordinator.
* Admission of the student to the PE, allocation of place and acceptance.
* Registration together with the other subjects.
The distribution of students in the PE will be done by combining 3 criteria:
1) Order of preference chosen by the student.
2) Availability of the institutions or projects: the acceptance of the tutor of the collaborating entity or project is essential.
3) Academic record of students: priority will be given to those with a higher average grade or a more appropriate profile for each institution or project.
The student must be enrolled in the subject and have signed the agreement before starting work with the collaborating entity (internships outside the UAB) or the internal specifications (within the UAB).
The student will have an academic University tutor (the coordinator of the Degre PE) and a tutor of the collaborating entity or project, with professional experience, the necessary knowledge and the availability to guide him in the correct realization of the internship.
The EP coordinator will deal with the negotiation, formalization and management of agreements governing external internships with institutions, agencies, bodies and companies. It will also guide the student both in the process of allocating a place and during the internship. The coordinator will present the student to his / her tutor within the institution in which he / she has to carry out the professional internship, and, once the internship stay has taken place, the coordinator will evaluate his / her performance in accordance with the report submitted. the tutor's report.
The schedules of the PE must be compatible with the academic training and representation and participation of the student at the University. The schedules will also be established according to the characteristics of the internships and according to the availability of the collaborating entity.
In all external internships, including those carried out at the UAB, it is an essential requirement that the student take out an insurance and civil liability policy, given that school insurance is not sufficient. Thus, the student will have to pay at the time of formalizing the registration the complementary policy contracted by the UAB (approximate price: 6 €).
Students enrolled in the External Internships subject have demonstrated, by obtaining the credits corresponding to the basic and compulsory second and third year subjects, that they have acquired the basic competencies, and must be able to express correctly orally and in writing.

Methodology
The specific training offered depends on the professional activity of the entity that hosts the student. Similarly, learning outcomes will vary depending on the specific skills acquired during the internship.
The tutor of the collaborating entity or research project will be responsible for indicating and supervising the activities carried out by the student in the framework of the External Internships in accordance with the corresponding training project.
The theoretical sessions may include face-to-face classes, specialized courses (e.g. courses in occupational hazards) or training for job placement organized by the Faculty in collaboration with the Employability Service.
Students will have two tutoring sessions (face-to-face or virtual), during the internship period and at the end.
Calendar
The regular internship development schedule will be specified according to the needs of the entity or collaborating project and the availability of the student. It will be included in these two periods:
First semester: from September to January.
Second semester: from February to June.
In exceptional cases, they may be carried out outside these periods, in the summer, if the tasks to be carried out so require (for example archaeological excavations).
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 submitted to the degree coordinator-tutor:
The tutor of the collaborating entity or research project will write a final report, with the number of hours worked and assessments of the aspects related to the generic and specific competencies established by the training project (within the maximum period of 15 days and according to the established model). It will also provide the necessary evidence for the evaluation.
The student will prepare a final report (or self-report) with the enumeration of tasks performed and the assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired in relation to university studies.
First semester: Final date of delivery of the report: 4 February.
Second semester: Final date of delivery of the report: June 30.
It is the responsibility of the student to clearly reflect in the report the tasks performed and their use of the knowledge and skills acquired so that the tutor can assess them properly. The report may be supplemented by annexes containing samples of the work done.
From the report by the tutor entity, the report and the follow-up the coordinator-tutor will evaluate the practices of each student, will fill in the corresponding report of evaluation and will qualify the asignatura.
Given the heterogeneity of the evaluation of external internships, and the optional nature of this qualification, no Matrícula de Honor will be awarded.
Students who have not completed 10% of the contact hours provided for in the agreement will be graded as Non-assessable. The grade will be Suspended when the student has exceeded 10% attendance, but has not completed the hours provided for in the agreement or is assessed negatively.
External internships have no reassesment.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0,regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
As part of the training activities specified in the assessment for the Pràctiques Externes/Prácticas Externas, students must fulfil these two requirements:
-have attended at least one 1 of the group professional orientation courses organised by the Servei d’Ocupabilitat and show proof of attendance by adjoining the certificate to the Memòria de Pràctiques.
-have taken the questionnaire Professional Competences Test offered by the Servei d’Ocupabilitat de la UAB. The result of the test can be downloaded and attached to the Memòria de Pràctiques.
No Matrícula d’Honor grade is awarded due to the optional nature of this grade and the heterogeneity of this subject in the different degrees taught in the Faculty. The course Pràctiques Externes cannot be reassessed in the event that the student fails.
