Objectives
The objectives of the work experience are:
- To understand how entities or companies that offer products or cultural services work.
- To understand the overall process of a cultural product or service.
- To join a team and learn the dynamics of the company or institution.
- To manage an aspect or part of the project or service according to predetermined targets.
- To analyze and reflect on work experience, and make a critical assessment of the work carried out.
Operation
Internships are one of the cornerstones of the curriculum in the Master’s degree in Arts and Cultural Management. They allow students to temporarily work for a company or cultural institution while applying the knowledge acquired throughout the academic year and while developing the professional competences which are specific to cultural managers.
This compulsory work experience is awarded with 12 ECTS and is equivalent to around 250 / 300 hours of work to be carried out during the academic year or the summer holiday. The internships’ coordinator will supervise that the work plan be related to the Master’s objectives and that the students acquire the learning outcomes related to cultural management. At the end of this period students will present a report which will contain a description of the work they undertook as well as a critical evaluation of their own performances.
It is highly recommended that the student have a B2 level of Spanish in order to guarantee a good internship experience in Spain. Students will have to take a Spanish test and according to their level the university will suggest the appropriate course. This service is available at the UIC Barcelona. The level of Spanish is not mandatory but it may delay the search process.
