Prerequisites
For the course Pràctiques Externes/Prácticas Externas students must preregister according to a calendar that is made public every year. The calendar can be consulted at the following link:
https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/grados/oferta-de-grados/informacion- 1345722453729.html
Failure to preregister results in the impossibility to register for the Pràctiques Professionals. Students will only be assigned an internship position if they have preregistered within the deadline. The pre-enrolment of students takes into account the prioritisation of a maximum of five places offered. Places are assigned according to the grade point average shown on the student’s transcript.
Students must have passed 120 credits at the time of enrollment in the subject. In the same way, students must enrol in the subject before beginning their work with the collaborating entity.
The hours of completion of the practices must be compatible with the academic, training and representation activity and students' participation at the University. The schedules will be established according to the characteristics of the practices and according to the availabilities of the collaborating entity and prior agreement with the tutor. This schedule must be respected during the development of the practices.
By obtaining the minimum of credits in basic training subjects and the compulsory ones of the second and third course, students enrolled in External Practicum have demonstrated to have acquired the basic competences and they will be able to express themselves orally and in writing.
The normative on EPs can be found at the following link: http://www.uab.cat/doc/Protocol-Practiques
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero forthis activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

Contents
For the completion of the external practices, it is a prerequisite that the UAB has signed an Educational Cooperation Agreement with its own university or with the collaborating entities.
In addition, specific agreements for educational cooperation will be signed to establish the regulatory framework for relations among each of the students enrolled, the collaborating entity and the UAB.
The framework of curricular external practices includes two modalities:
A. External practices subscribed between an external collaborating entity and the UAB.
In these cases the UAB signs a framework agreement for educational cooperation with the external collaborating entity and so many specific agreements for educational cooperation as students enrolled in this modality. It is an indispensable requirement that on the date of signature of the specific agreement, students certify the subscription to an accident insurance policy. School insurance is not enough. The complementary policy contracted by the UAB is valid and the student can choose it when registering. It is also compulsory to contract a civil liability policy.
B. External practices within the scope of the UAB, within Research Projects linked to the Department of Spanish Philology established by signing a Resolution between the coordinator of external practices and the UAB.
External practices outside the Department of Spanish Philology can be carried out during the first semester (September-January) or the second semester (February-May). Practices are not offered during the summer months.
Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theoretical classes and/or complementary courses | 5 | 0.2 | |
| Programmed tutorials | 7.5 | 0.3 | |
| Work in the company or institution | 130 | 5.2 | |
| Final report | 7.5 | 0.3 |
The specific training offered depends on the professional activity of the collaborating institution. In the same way, the results of learning will vary depending on the specific skills acquired during the practicum.
The tutor from the collaborating entity or research project will be responsible for indicating and supervising the activities carried out by the student within the framework of the External Internship, in accordance with the corresponding training plan.
The teaching will be distributed as follows:
- Contact hours at the company site, institution or host entity.
- The hours dedicated to the company should be approximately 130. This corresponds to approximately 45 days of 3 hours (morning or afternoon) or 27 days of 5 hours (intensive formula).
- Hours for the preparation of the final report.
- Hours for tutorials with the coordinator of the subject.
- Theoretical sessions (could include in-person classes, specialized courses or training for labor insertion organized by the Faculty with the collaboration of the Servei d'Ocupabillitat.
The student will have an academic tutor from the University (the practices coordinator of the Department of Spanish Philology) and a tutor from the collaborating entity, with professional experience and knowledge necessary to be able to practice as a tutor.
Students have to do at least two tutoring sessions (in person or virtual) during the period of the PE. En la segunda sesión de tutoría el alumno deberá entregar un informe breve sobre las actividades que ha realizado hasta ese momento. The tutor is responsible to complete a brief report on these two sessions (model provided by the Dean’s Office).
In the event that the practices cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format, as long as the institution in which the practices are carried out allows it and the tasks that must be carried out do not require attendance.
