1. General information
The external academic internship is an activity of a formative nature carried out by the student and supervised by the University. Its objective is to allow the student to apply and complement the knowledge acquired in their academic training, favouring the acquisition of skills that prepare them for the exercise of professional activities, facilitate their employability and foster their capacity for entrepreneurship.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), specifically, the learning activities planned in this subject will contribute to the achievement of Goal 4: Quality Education.
2. Learning results
Apply the theoretical knowledge acquired, putting it into practice in the development of a work outside the educational field, but supervised and directed from it, and linked to the exercise of activity in a suitable professional, public or private environment.
Comply with the commitments acquired with the collaborating entity and with the university in relation to the completion of the internship.
Adequately draft a Report of Activities in which the proposed and achieved objectives are stated, including explicitly their contribution to the promotion of sustainable development in any of its aspects, within the framework of the UN Agenda 2030, as well as a detailed description of the activities carried out.
Establish the relationship with the qualification of the work performed, taking into account general and specific competencies, as well as skills and attitudes.
Conduct an evaluation of the process and formulate proposals for improvement.
4. Academic activities
Working days adapted to the circumstances of the collaborating entity and the student.
Autonomous work of the student.
Tutoring sessions with the company and the academic tutor.
5. Assessment system
At the end of the internship, the Tutor of the collaborating entity shall prepare a report according to a standardized form established by Universa, assessing the student's activity during the internship, and shall send it to Universa, which in turn shall send it to the student's academic tutor at the University . Percentage of final grade: 50%
The Academic Tutor will evaluate the student and the Final Report of the External Internship submitted by the student, according to the PS model . Percentage of final grade: 50%
In the event that the student has not completed at least 90% of the established hours at the internship site, an unfavourable final report of the internship will be issued and a "fail" grade will be given. The numerical grade , CF, will be weighted to the number of actual hours in the collaborating entity with a maximum of 4.0 which will correspond to 89% of the total.
Calculation of the Final Grade, CF:
CF = 50% tutor in the entity + 50% academic tutor
If the minimum requirements are not met in the evaluation activities of the entity part (5 points out of 10) and of the academic part (5 points out of 10), the subject will not be considered passed, even if the final grade, CF, according to the weighted average is equal to or higher than 5. So, in that case, if:
CF is >= 4, the final grade will be: Fail, 4.
CF < 4, the final grade will be: Fail, CF.
Success rate of the last three years: 100%
