Curricular Internships
A curricular internship for credits (ECTS) is provided for in the programmes of the School of Banking, Finance and Insurance Sciences.
It is a wide-ranging educational opportunity which offers the student a period of practical experience in a dedicated company working in close contact with professionals and prospective employers. Therefore, it must be previously approved, as such, by the University Tutor.
The Curricular Internship does not in any way constitute employment; rather, it is an integral part of the university training programme.
