What is an internship?
The Curricular Internship with ECTS is required by the educational system of the Undergraduate Degree Programme in "Business Administration" of the Faculty of Economics and Law.
It consists of an educational and training activity, which the student spends in the company. It does not constitute work in any way and is an integral part of the educational process of the degree programme for the achievement of the objectives indicated in the study system.
