Within the Degree in Architecture 6 ECTS (equivalent to 180 hours) of work experience in professional offices or companies related to the world of construction are expected.
Due to the weight of practical content of a Degree in Architecture, a period of internship is very important, where students will face their first professional experiences.
Internship provides another means of educating the student in terms of knowledge and skills, and it is conducted subject to an agreement with the office or the company and under the supervision and monitoring of the University and a representative of the firm or company.
Even as a subject in grades 5, if the student wishes to take holiday periods for practice or for a course that enrolls fewer subjects may make once 150 ECTS grade approved, always with the support of the University.
If I had not done before, to reach 5th must register and make the corresponding ECTS within the course.
The student must have a minimum knowledge of the profession to get as much from an internship opportunity as might be expected.
Essential: Prior to a period of internship beginning, it must be verified that the University and the Office have an "Internship agreement".
The purpose of these internships is to apply the theoretical concepts learned in the Architecture Degree course and to initiate students to professional reality, an experience that will help towards their future inclusion in the workforce.
The end result of the internship will be that students will have had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and academic content to the work undertaken.
Also, this period will have served as an introduction to the reality of professional life, enabling the development of a range of skills and abilities that will assist with future integration into the workforce.
The main objective of the internship is to introduce students to professional reality. This contact with the professional world will be reflected in a document in which the student must demonstrate the knowledge, skills and competences acquired.
At the end of internship, the student must submit a written report.
In this report the student must demonstrate knowledge about:
The professional office or firm: the field in which they secure their projects.
Details of the tasks performed.
Analysis of internal processes that take place in the practical execution of a project.
A critical and constructive analysis of the work performed, doing a self-evaluation of the degree of personal development acquired in different aptitudes.
(The index of the report is to be found in “Teaching materials”)
To develop the course content competently, the University offers the following services:
