Companies or institutions can offer two types of internship:
They are academic activities that form part of each degree's programme of studies and have the duration in ECTS credits assigned to them, with one course credit being equivalent to approximately 25 hours. They correspond to a compulsory or optional subject in a bachelor's degree or university master's degree programme.
They are performed preferably during the course's teaching period, and always in the enrolment semester (from September/October to mid-February or from February/March to mid-September/October).
Activities that can be performed voluntarily, preferably during the period of study.
| Curricular internships | Non-curricular internships | |

Can only be started once the semester in which the enrolled student can carry out the internship has started. |
Students can start the non-curricular internship as soon as they are enrolled, even if the semester has not yet started. Students who have just been admitted or who are not studying any other course when they apply for an internship have to wait until teaching starts before they can start on the internship. |
| Duration of the internship | The duration of the curricular internship is determined by the course's study load within the programme of studies. | Have a maximum duration of 750 hours per academic year, except for the internships related with the postgraduate courses, which have a maximum duration of 375 hous, and the internships for the specialization courses, which have a maximum duration of 187.5 hours. UOC-certified master's degree internships have a total maximum duration of 750 hours. |
| Agreement | A single agreement is signed for all the hours that the student must work. If necessary, the curricular internship hours can be increased by means of a non-curricular internship agreement, with a starting date after termination of the curricular internship agreement. | A maximum of two agreements can be carried out at the same company or institution, with a maximum duration of 750 hours each (see the specifications in the previous point). If a second agreement is signed, there must be a one-month gap between the two agreements. In the second agreement, the tasks to be performed by the student should be updated. |
