Internships

The subject External Internships (PE) The Economics Degree from the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism of the University of La Laguna is one of the compulsory subjects of the Degree, which "aims to provide a greater practical component to their academic training, connecting university studies with professional activities and existing job opportunities. Therefore, carrying out external internships constitutes a formative value in itself, since it is an excellent mechanism for permanently connecting the university with the productive fabric and the business world, as well as with the institutional and organizational framework of the Canary Islands, while offering students experience in the world of work, undoubtedly very useful for their subsequent professional integration in occupations in the labor market appropriate to the knowledge, capacities and skills acquired in the degree studied" (preamble, Regulations for External Internships of the ULL).
The training activities included in this course are primarily practical and applied in nature and will be carried out, for the most part, in national and international companies, institutions, and public and private entities, including the university itself (managing entities), that have signed an educational cooperation agreement with the University of La Laguna.
Under no circumstances will these internships constitute an employment or contractual relationship, nor any other type of connection between the student and the company or entity where the internship takes place.

Types of internships

  • Curricular: those framed in the official ULL study plan
  • Extracurricular activities: These are activities that are not part of the curriculum and are carried out voluntarily by students. They may be subject to
    academic recognition

CURRICULAR PRACTICES
Requirements to take them
Be enrolled in the External Internship course during the academic year. To enroll, you must have passed all core credits.

Workload
Considering that the subject has 12 ETCS credits and that each ETCS credit is equivalent to 25 hours of student activity, the subject has a workload of 300 hours, which will be distributed as follows:

  • 245 hours of internship at the collaborating entity (5 hours/day, 5 days/week);
  • 5 hours of independent work to attend academic tutorials and to complete the final report or portfolio
  • of the external internships in the collaborating entity that must be submitted to the academic tutor for evaluation
  • 50 hours dedicated to developing oral and written English expression skills.

The schedule and activities to be developed in this course are obviously conditioned by the characteristics and availability of the collaborating entities. This aspect must be taken into account by the student when registering for this course, as the Faculty cannot guarantee, in advance, that it can be taken at a time or period compatible with the other courses enrolled by the student. To the extent possible, we will try to arrange for the English Module to be taught during the first weeks of the semester.

Collaborating entities
Collaborating entities are all public or private organizations, including the University itself (managing entities), that are likely to accept students for external internships and that have a current Educational Cooperation Agreement with the ULL.

Organization
The internships at the collaborating institution will begin after the English module ends. However, for the purposes of teaching organization, they may be carried out during the first four months of the academic year, if the Internship Committee so deems appropriate, at the student's request.

During the internship, the student will have two tutors: the External Tutor appointed by the collaborating entity and the Academic Tutor proposed by the Faculty. Coordination between these tutors ensures the organization, planning, and management of the student's work plan, as well as the evaluation and monitoring of the internship.

The procedures and deadlines students must follow for completing the course, as well as the assessment criteria, will be published in the virtual classroom supporting teaching on the ULL Institutional Virtual Campus for the course.

The Center's External Internship Committee is responsible for overseeing the process of assigning students to the corresponding collaborating entities, as well as their academic tutors.
