SUBJECTS

Internships

In the Faculty of Business Administration and the Master’s Degree in Social Media and Corporate Communication we are aware that internships in companies are very beneficial for the future employability of our students, so we make every effort to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to carry them out during their studies.

During your studies, you can carry out external internships to bring your training closer to the reality of professional activity. These internships can be carried out both in companies in the sector and in institutions related to the field of corporate communication and digital marketing. All internships are remunerated with a minimum of 300 euros per month, for 4 hours of work per day.

Internships can be either curricular or extracurricular and can be done from the beginning of the studies, without the need to have passed a minimum number of credits.

Curricular

They are included in the Syllabus in the Practicum Module. The subject, which is optional, has a maximum of 12 ECTS.

Extracurricular

These are internships that students may perform on a voluntary basis during their training period and, although they have the same purposes as the curricular internships, they are not part of the Study Plan.

Students wishing to do an internship in a company must register in the SIE curriculum database ( UPV Integrated Employment Service) and participate in the selection processes that are open. It is also possible for a student to find an internship by his or her own means.

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 the international experience through the academic exchange and internships.

Our International Office is responsible for the management of the programs Erasmus+(study stays in Europe) and Promoe (study stays outside Europe). You can participate in these programs in the 3rd and 4th year of the ADE and GAP degree, in the 4th year of the ADE-Teleco double degree, and in the 3rd and 4th year of the ADE-Inf double degree, as long as you meet the established requirements. If you are a student of one of our Masters, you can also participate in the academic exchange.

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 before the one you want to do it. If you are interested in pursuing an international double degree, you can choose between Finland, France and the Czech Republic.

You can find the complete list of the destinations of our academic exchange programs on this website. For more details about our programs, you can see this presentation “Internationalization and mobility at FADE”. For doubts and questions, please send an email to intade@ade.upv.es
