Employability

Internships are a key element in your training. Gaining experience after learning in class is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: those which are included in your study plan (‘curricular’), and those you can do on a voluntary basis (‘extracurricular’).

In order to do a curricular internship in a company, you will need to have passed 50% of the programme credits and enrolled in the subject before starting your internship. These internships are overseen by the company and the internship coordinator (professor), who also prepare interim and final reports for evaluation.

If you want to enhance your work experience before finishing your university education, you can also do an extracurricular internship. You can do these at any time, but we remind you that the internship is a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired prior to the internship, the more you will benefit from the experience.
