Internships
In the Faculty of Business Administration and Management and in the Master’s Degree in Financial and Tax Management, we are aware that internships in companies are essential to improve the future employability of our students. Therefore, we work with dedication so that everyone has the opportunity to do them throughout their academic training.
Participation in external internships
During their studies, students can participate in external internships that allow them to connect their knowledge with the professional environment. These experiences can take place in companies or institutions linked to the financial, accounting or tax sectors.
Modality and recommendations
The internships are extracurricular and although they can be done from the beginning of the studies, we recommend doing them after at least the first semester. Another better option is to do them at the end of the second semester and combine them with the Master’s Thesis.
All internships are remunerated with a minimum of 300 euros per month, for 4 hours of work per day.
Research and access to Ph.
The Master in Financial and Tax Management is one of the Masters attached to the Doctorate in Business Administration program at the UPV.

Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
The international dimension of the company has an unquestionable importance for its development and expansion. For this reason, one of our Faculty’s priorities is to offer its students the possibility of acquiring international experience through academic exchange and internships.
Our International Office is in charge of managing the Erasmus+ (study stays in Europe) and Promoe (study stays outside Europe) programs.
Study stays can be for a semester or a full academic year. You can apply for a stay in two annual calls of each program (Erasmus+ and Promoe) during the academic year prior to the one you want to do it.
For more details about our programs, please see this presentation “Internationalization and mobility at FADE”.
