You can view this information at the end of this document.
To apply for the program, you are required to have passed the degree first year and, at least, 120 credits out of 180 credits in the first three years.
In addition, you must be enrolled at the time when you start the internship and have paid the fees for the accident and civil liability insurance, as informed in the tax regulations.
This is an elective course that should be taken preferably during the fourth year or the summer after finishing the programmed activities of the degree third year.
The objectives of the course are:
. To promote the integration of the student in the corporate world or in a research group, either in a public or private institution.
. To know and to apply biochemical or molecular biology techniques that are typically used in a industrial setting or in specific research projects.
. To prepare a report on the practice internship in an autonomous manner.
The contents of this course is variable, depending on the specific institution in which the student internship takes place.
However, in all cases, the contents of the proposed activity should keep a close relationship with Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, be it in a company or in a research group.
Two kinds of positions exist:
- Those offered by the Faculty.
- Those proposed by the student on his/her own upon agreement with the receiving institution.
Each student will be assigned some personal tutoring:
- External tutoring: when the internship is carried out outside the UAB sphere and the student is assigned both a tutor at the receiving institution and an academic tutor from the UAB faculty.
- Internal tutoring: when the internship is carried out within the UAB sphere and under the direct supervision of a member of the UAB faculty, who acts as an academic tutor.
The internship can be taken in either one of the following periods: summer of 3rd year, 1st semester of 4th year, 2nd semester of 4th year, or summer of 4th year.

The instructions for the preparation of the final written report can be found in the Facultat de Biociències website, section "Pràctiques Acadèmiques en Entitats".
This course does not allow to be evaluated through the single assessment system.
