Contents

The content of this subject is variable as it will depend on the entity in particular where the student's stay and tasks or role are performed during the internship. However, in all cases, the content will be related to basic research or applied research, both at the clinic and in biomedicine. The student can carry out internships in companies or research groups associated with hospital centers or research institutes in the biomedical sector.


There are two types of internships:


• Modality A: Posts offered by UAB


These students will have an academic tutor.


• Modality B: Posts proposed by the student


These students  will be tutored by a member of the course's teaching team and by an external tutor.
