Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for taking this subject
Objectives
The practicum module is established on a mandatory basis and consists of internships in hotel companies. The duration is 12 ECTS and will be offered mainly in the second semester of the curriculum. The internships are carried out in the main hotel chains or consultants specialized in the sector that operate both in Spain and abroad and that recognize our masters students in a differentiated way to those of degree.
The objectives are:
- To know the basic hotel operations of each department for those students without experience in the sector
- To reinforce the practical knowledge of a department of interest for those students who already have previous experience in the sector
Learning outcomes
- Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
- Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
- Identify and combine indicators with which to prepare reports for decision-making.
- Work in interdisciplinary teams.
- Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
- Apply the knowledge acquired professionally, in a particular hotel-business scenario.
- Display excellence in adapting to the work assigned.
- Operate effectively within the multinational hotel business.
- Recognise the commitment to quality in hotel management, as seen in well-defined procedures and a culture of high-quality service.

Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internship report (made by the company tutor) | 75% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 |

This subject/module does not offer the option for comprehensive evaluation
The commission of any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course guide) that could lead to a significant variation in the grade will result in that activity being graded with a 0. If the course guide stipulates that passing the subject requires obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity, or if several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0. Independently of this, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
The evaluation will consist of the report carried out by the professional tutor of the student and the the intership report made by the student.
