Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of the External Practices is to put students in touch with the professional world, so that they can apply and complement the competences acquired throughout their Degree studies through a training activity supervised by the School and carried out in a company or external institution This training activity allows students to acquire a practical vision of the world of work and professional practice, thus facilitating their employability.

Content
The contents of the internship will be determined by the work plan that will be agreed between the company, the student and the academic tutor. In order to approve the proposed work plan, the contents must be adapted:
To the profile and the academic situation of the student.
To the specific competences of the undergraduate degree in telecommunication systems engineering.
Important: Work plans written in a generic manner and without a clear list of tasks with competencies in the field of telecommunication engineering will be rejected.
