Information on the internship groups and the master’s degree final project (TFM)

The External Internship subject will be conducted in person at the assigned internship centers, and the Master’s Thesis (TFM) will follow an individualized supervision model.

The enrolment and adhesion to the internship groups and TFM of the Master’s Degree in Social Work in Health Care will operate as follows:

  • Enrolment: the enrolment for the Internship and the Masters Final Project (TFM) will be linked to one of the 8 universities that offer it. There will be 8 groups, with 7 places in each of them. Hence, out of the 56 places available for enrolment, each University will be assigned a group with 7 places for the Internship and the TFM. Enrolment will be based on the mark obtained in the Master's access process.
  • In relation to the External Internships, once students have enrolled and are assigned to a specific university, they may apply for one of the following options:
    • Selection of the internship centre based on the Master’s access mark: each university will offer a list of possible entities where students enrolled in the same university can carry out the internship. Students may not apply for places offered by universities other than the one in which they are enrolled.
    • Autopracticum: students may propose an institution to carry out the internship. The Master's Academic Committee will review the proposal and give its approval or rejection.
    • Recognition for professional experience: this option will be based on the criteria set out in the Master's verification report, which states that "The recognition of credits will only and exclusively affect the subject of Internships (9 credits) for accredited work experience in Social Work in Health Care. Recognition for work experience will be based on 4 years of accredited work experience in Social Work in Health Care".
