Internships Information

In the master on Biostatistics internships are fundamental in the training and therefore a compulsory subject that will be coursed during the third semester. The coursed internships under the enrolment of the subject are named curricular internships and will have a duration of 150 hours.

As well as the curricular internship, the Biostatistics master's degree students will be able to do extracurricular internships for a total of 900h/year, as long as their enrolment is open.

In case of doing an internship in a department from the UVEG it is important to take into account that the student will only be able to sign a contract of extracurricular internship associated to the same department, therefore, if any extracurricular internship was done a previous course (even if it was part of another degree), the student will not be able to sign a new contract. In the case of curricular internships, an agreement by degree will be signed.

• Regulations:

The internships are ruled under the Regulations on Work Placements of the Universitat de València.

Furthermore, you can consult the student guide of the internships comission of the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences here (updated 13/06/2024).

• Selection of Curricular Internships.

The choosing of the internship will be able to in two different formats:

• • Autopracticum. The student will be in contact with the company of their interest (which cannot be owned by a 1st degree relative) and will accomplish the next document that will need to be sent to the master's degree mail.

The deadline to notify the intention of realising an internship in this modality will be at the beginning of July from the previous course in which the internship will be done.

• • List of offers: The internship commission will publish a list of offered places by the different entities. The publication, as long as it’s possible, will take place at the end of July of the year before the internships are cursed.

The selection will take place in September in a call strictly by order of mark in the contract file of 1st year.

• Validation of Internships
  • The curricular internship will be able to be validated through the accreditation of 6 months of a full-time job in a company, as long as the job done accredited is related with the content of the master's degree.
  • The deadline to present the validation will be at the end of March.
  • Documentation to be submitted:
    • Work contract
    • Work life or any other document that credits the duration of the contract over 6 months and the number of hours done.
    • Certificate of the tasks done and their relation to the master's degree, as long as these are not accordingly reflected in the work contract
