Depending on the type of collaboration (number of students, duration of the relationship, etc), two different types of cooperative education agreement can be signed: Specific agreement : this is the most common agreement for formalizing one-off internships at an external company. It is signed by the student, the internship centre and the UOC. It covers the specific internship period that has been established. Framework agreement : if the collaboration is long-term, a framework agreement is signed between the company and the University. Once this document has been signed, the next internships will be formalized by means of an accession protocol that would only need to be signed by the student.

Internships

The UOC Internship and Mobility Services will manage your external academic internship, connecting you directly with the professional world.

Through educational cooperation agreements, organizations and institutions welcome students into their teams to help nurture young talent, while you complement your studies with hands-on experience alongside professionals in your field.

Types of internships

Internships are available both in Spain and abroad and in the format that suits you best: on-site, blended or online.

Curricular internships

These courses are part of the programme of studies and in which the student receives personalized academic supervision. A professional from the internship centre and a teacher ensure that the internship is carried out in accordance with the agreed formative project.

Extracurricular internships

They are not part of any programme of studies, although they must be related with the course of study that the student is taking. They are voluntary internships.

Once the internship agreement has been signed, the student will be covered by two policies: an accidents policy and a public liability policy.

Consequently, the parties must have signed the agreement before the student starts the internship. Otherwise, the student will not be covered by either of the insurance policies.
