Work placements

Work placements are essentially a training activity for the students, who are supervised by a tutor at their company or institution, and by an academic tutor of the University of Valencia. Their main objective is to enable students to apply and to help them complement the knowledge they have acquired throughout their academic training, whilst at the same time utilising their acquired skills that have prepared them for the professional world, facilitated their employment and encouraged their entrepreneurial ability. 

The University of Valencia considers external internships to be an important and necessary methodology in the learning and preparation of its students and, at the same time, in connecting with society, and has its own regulations governing them. Each university centre has an internship committee whose mission, among other things, is to promote and academically supervise training internships.

There are two types of internships: curricular and extracurricular. Curricular internships are academic activities integrated into the relevant curriculum (undergraduate and postgraduate), corresponding to a module, subject or course. Extracurricular internships, on the other hand, are those that students can undertake on a voluntary basis during their period of study (undergraduate and postgraduate) and which, although they have the same aims as curricular internships, are not part of the curriculum.

With regard to internships involving minors and in compliance with Law 26/2015 of 28 July, amending the child and adolescent protection system, students who must or wish to undertake internships involving regular contact with minors must provide a certificate of no criminal record from the Central Register of Sex Offenders issued by the Ministry of Justice.

Work placements are regulated by the University of Valencia's Work Placement Regulations.
