Students who want to opt for any of these places must fill out an application in the academic management. If there is more demand than supply of places, the selection criterion will be the academic record.
Students who have entered the external internship subject will not be able to bring their internship proposal. Extracurricular external internships cannot be recognized or validated or continue carrying out curricular internships where extracurricular internships have been carried out. The approval of the employment contract, nor its transformation, adaptation or development of any practical training activity, will not be accepted as a valid practice.
An Internship Commission will validate the fit of the student's profile with the needs of the company and the relationship between the subjects previously studied and the characteristics and spirit of the internships.
The resolution of the accepted practices will be made between the second half of October and the first half of November.
In all cases, the selection criteria will be based mainly on the weighted average of the student's academic record.
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.
