The subject Internships consists of: 12 ECTS, which means 300 hours of student work. The Teaching Organisation Plan of the Chemistry Section contemplates the completion of the External Practices in the period between the months of February and July, both inclusive.

In any case, the students must carry out:

  • 20 hours of face-to-face classes in the Chemistry Section which include several seminars and tutorials (9 h) and participation in Chemistry dissemination activities (11 h).

Students will join the workplace on the agreed date and will carry out the training plan, in the hours previously agreed with the entity, in accordance with the work guidelines included in the training contract.

At all times during the development of the subject, the students will be assisted by a academic tutor and an external tutorThe former will ensure the normal development of the internships and that the activities assigned by the entity to the students are in accordance with the training program. The external tutor will be the person responsible for hosting, organizing the activities and informing the students about the functioning and characteristics of the entity.

At the end of the internship, the student must prepare and deliver to the academic tutor a final memory of the work developed.
