Objectives
It is an optional subject that will be taken preferably in the fourth academic year.
The objectives of the subject are:
. Promoting the integration of the student in the world of the company or in a research group, in a public or private entity.
. Knowing and applying biotechnological techniques that are used in some industrial fields or in specific research projects.
. Preparing autonomously a report on the practical stay.

Contents
The content of this subject is variable as it will depend on the specific entity in which the stay is carried out. Despite this, in all cases, the content will always keep a close relationship between Biotechnology and the activity that is proposed to be developed, either in a company or in a research group.
There are the following types of places:
Places offered by the School of Biosciences: UAB internal places
Places proposed by the student: External places or, in some cases, already committed to UAB professors
Students in places with UAB professors will have him/her as their academic tutor.
Students who do the internship outside the UAB will be tutored by the subject coordinator.
Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practical stay | 280 | 11.2 | CM41, KM42, SM40, SM41 |
| Final report drawn up by the student | 20 | 0.8 | CM40, KM43, SM40 |
The calendar of the process will be made public each academic year on the website of the School of Biosciences. The student will find all the information related to this subject, how to formalize the request for a place and all the procedures derived from the allocation of a place on the website of the School of Biosciences entitled \"Academic Internships in Institutions\".
Each academic year, the School will organize a general information session aimed at third-year students of the Sciences School's degrees. The head of the subject will schedule a specific information session each academic year and will later upload the most important files to the degree's virtual campus.
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final report drawn up by the student | 40% | 0 | 0 | CM40, KM43, SM40 |
| Practical stay | 60% | 0 | 0 | CM41, KM42, SM40, SM41 |
The assessment will consist of the following parts:
Evaluation of the final report by the student (40% weight). The use of English in the memory may add up to 0.5 points in addition to the qualification of this section.
Final assesment issued by the UAB Tutor / External Tutor (weight 60%).
The final report will be delivered in electronic format to the person in charge of the subject, no later than 15 days after the end of the stay. In exceptional cases, that must be authorized by the person in charge of the
subject, this period can be extended up to a maximum of 30 days.
In order to be evaluated, the teacher responsible for the subject must receive the tutor's evaluation report and the report prepared by the student. In the case of not meeting any of these requirements, the mark of the subject will be \"Not evaluable\".
On the web page of the School of Sciences, in the link \"Academic Practices in Institutions\", the instructions for preparing the final report can be found. Among others, it is noteworthy:
Description of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation of the report. You must indicate which ones, explain how they were used and specify how you consider they have improved the final result of the work.
This subject does not provide for a single assessment system.
Bibliography
The Bibliography will be variable and will refer to the specific task that each student will develop during their practical stay and what they need to prepare the final report.
Software
The software to be used will be different for each student and will refer to the specific task each student will develop during their practical stay and to what will be required to prepare the final report.
