Offer, request and award of external internship
The external internship, is a training activity carried out by students and supervised by Career Services, with the aim of applying and complementing the knowledge acquired in the academic training, while favouring the acquisition of skills that prepare them for the exercise of professional activities.
Internships can be carried out in national and international companies and institutions.
Because of the training nature of the internships, under no circumstances may they give rise to any obligations of an employment relationship, nor may they lead to the substitution of the work provided by the jobs.
In the case that at the end of the university studies the student joins the workforce of the company or institution where he/she has done the internship, this will not be counted for the purposes of seniority, nor will it exempt the student from the probationary period, unless expressly stipulated in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
Scope of application
The following are eligible for an external internship:
- Students enrolled in any of the EUHT CETT-UB's undergraduate degree programmes.
- Students from foreign universities, in accordance with international programmes that allow them to be academically linked to the UB.
Structure of the Work Placement

The minimum duration of the external internship is 150 hours and the maximum is 900 hours.
