Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

Interships constitute an activity of formative nature carried out by the university students and supervised by the University. The final aim is to put into practice and complement the knowledge achieved by the students in their academic training. This way, the acquisition of competencies is encouraged and students are prepared for the exercise of professional activities, facilitating their employability and boosting their undertaking capacity.

This subject is optional and is located in the second half of the 4th year of the curriculum of the degree in Technical Architecture (building engineering). It is necessary that the student who enrolls in the subject has exceeded a minimum of 120 credits.

During the internship, the student must be under the contract of insurance for your protection in the event of any incident. For students under 28 years old, such insurance is intrinsic with the registration. On the other hand, for the students of 28 years or more, this insurance won't associate in the registration of the course, so it must be selected in the registration process.
