External academic internships are a training activity that enables students to apply and complement the knowledge acquired during their academic studies in companies or institutions, under the supervision of a tutor from the organisation and an academic tutor from the Universitat de València.

The organisation and management of internships at the University is the responsibility of ADEIT, under the direction of the Vice-Principal for Students, Academic Transformation and Permanent Training. Please remember that you will not be able to start your internships until you have received the internships agreement formalised by ADEIT.

There are two types of external internships. Depending on your degree programme and the applicable requirements, you can choose from the internships available for your degree programme, or propose the company or organisation where you would like to undertake your placement (autopracticum).
