Practicum

Realization of external practices in companies and institutions in order to know the reality of the job opportunities and acquire a first professional experience in a workplace.

Generally it is not considered necessary to specify the bibliography in the application form of internships. If necessary, the bibliography of the practicum may be indicated in this application form.
