In the global education system, when it comes to applied sciences, a period of internship is foreseen for students in professional jobs corresponding to the discipline of the departments they are studying.
Students of the Department have the opportunity to carry out a three-month internship, which is, however, optional. Within the framework of Practical Training, students are given the opportunity to work in a real professional environment, participating in work groups under the guidance of the host institutions’ executives, in order to develop a specific project together with other professionals in the field and to develop their individual skills through collaborative processes.
The internship is intended to complement the theoretical and applied knowledge provided by the Department, with the practice of students in a productive working environment. The purpose of the internship is not limited to the students’ first contact with a real working environment, which is similar to their studies, but much more extensive, since it perfects the knowledge of application and completes the process of introducing students to the workplace, through the acquisition of readiness to participate in the social economy.
To be eligible for an internship, students of the Department must have gathered 180 credits and have completed at least the 7th semester.
More information can be found in the Study Guide and on the website of the Internship Office.
