Information for the student

The External Practices consist of a stay of 660 hours in a collaborating center (company or institution, public or private) with which the Faculty establishes an educational cooperation agreement. The tasks that students must carry out must adjust to the skills they develop in teaching the Degree in Communication and Cultural Industries, and must also be supervised by a tutor that the company or institution will assign to the student.

The student's academic tutor will be the final person responsible for the evaluation that will be carried out once the student has completed the 660 hours provided for in the training project of the curricular practices. This assessment is made up of the following elements: Report (30%) + Report from the company tutor (40%), as well as attendance and participation in tutorials (20%) and the employability day (10%)

The report on the External Internships that the student must prepare and deliver in the month of May on the day, time and date indicated.

This Report must contain:

1. Description of the company or institution where the internship took place, its management and organization.
2. List and explanation of the project - or projects - in which the student has collaborated, explaining the tasks he has carried out in them.
3. Reflection on the learning outcomes achieved by the student.
