External practices

Make initial contact with a business organization developing UAS or relational systems engineering or operations activities.
Anticipated professional activity to value the theoretical aspects received in the Master. They will be adapted to the provisions of the USC External Academic Practices Regulations.

The degree's verified report indicates in the contents "Work experience in a professional environment related to the subject of the degree".
This Master's degree has planned in its teaching program the realization of "Internships in companies", with 225 hours of planned dedication that will take place over five and a half weeks.
The stay will be carried out in a company or unit of the Administration related to the scope of the Master. An attempt will be made for the company to dedicate itself to the field of specialization for which the student has shown preference.
At the end of the stay, an approximation will be made to the terms of reference of the work carried out, meaning the formative aspects for the student. This work must be carried out by a representative of the company, preferably the one who has been in charge of guarding the student, and on the other hand by his tutor at the University.

Subject with 225 hours of teaching load, in which the student, in addition to carrying out the tasks assigned, may have individualized tutorials with the USC tutor and the external tutor.


To carry out tutorials, as well as to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the teacher, they can be done through Ms. Teams or by email.

External placements will be assessed mainly on the basis of the reports issued by the student, with a weighting of 70%, and the tutor's report with the corresponding 30%.


Competences assessed, all those specified in the proposal.

5,5 weeks of stay, which represents 225 hours of work.
