Introduction

The internship constitute a fundamental element of the studies that lead to the Degree in Humanities and Cultural Studies, since they allow the student to come into direct contact with the reality of a certain sector, which is linked to the start-up or development of a project or with the work that is done in an institution or company. Likewise, the practices facilitate that the students apply the knowledge and the skills that are acquired in the theoretical subjects and, in this way, complement and enrich an integral formation in cultural management..

Phases:

1.- Tutorial session with the internship manager to know the profile and expectations of the student, as well as to advise on the preparation of the CV. This meeting must be requested through an e-mail, at least three months before the date on which you wish to do an internship.
2.- Search of companies and institutions by the student and coordinator.
3.- Internship request.
4.- Personal interview in the company / institution and selection of candidate.
5.- Development of the internship. As a general rule, the internship will be a minimum of 250 hours. The company / institution will have a supervisor.
6.- Redaction of the memory by the student.

 

Throughout the course, the internship manager will conduct follow-up tutoring, as well as orientation tutorials to students who request it.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



The internship will be evaluated based on the report of the tutor assigned to the company or institution (70% of the grade) and of the report presented by the student (30% of the grade).   The quality of the work carried out and the involvement in the project will be taken into account, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the report presented, which should include a reasoned explanation and a critical assessment of the work carried out.   Both the report and the evaluation must be delivered 10 days after the end of the internship.
