Before starting a work placement, it is essential to check that the university and the practice or construction-related company has signed a “Work Placement Agreement”.
Objectives
The objective of these work placements is to apply the theoretical concepts learnt in the Degree in Architecture course and to initiate the student into the real professional world, an experience which will help when it comes to entering the job market in the future.
Operation
UIC Barcelona School of Arquitecture includes the compulsory subject of work placement in its Degree in Architecture course as part of the study plan for the fifth grade. Work placement in professional practices or in companies related to the construction sector is worth six ECTs (equivalent to 180 hours of work).
Given the level of practical content in the Degree in Architecture course, the work placement period is particularly important as this is when students are faced with their first professional experiences. Work placements represent a further educational tool in terms of knowledge and skills and they are undertaken in agreement with the office or the company under the supervision of the university and a representative of the office or company.
These work placements are linked to all the degree subjects as all of them are necessary in a professional practice. Depending on the field of work chosen by the student, some will be more relevant than others.
