Internships
The Business Relations Department of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design provides the students of this School with the possibility of carrying out quality internships, TFG and TFM in companies and institutions.
Student requirements
- Internships are available from the beginning.
- Failure to submit the TFM.
- Be registered in the curricular database of the Integrated Employment Service (SIE) and keep your CV updated.
Types of practice
- Curricular: Mandatory registration before the start of the course.
- Extra-curricular: No registration required
Research and access to Ph.
He is a doctoral student at the ETSIADI and discover the academic excellence and cutting-edge research in the doctoral programs of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design.
Also in the Doctoral School you will find all the programs offered by the UPV.
Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
From the International Relations Subdirectorate of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design (ETSIADI) is active in international relations.
Every year hundreds of students of the School have the opportunity to complete their training in a foreign institution. ETSIADI participates in a large number of cooperation programs, both at European and global level.
Facilities and laboratories
The School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design is located on the Vera Campus of the UPV (Valencia), occupying a built-up area of 16,859 square meters with a basement for parking, its own laboratories and a hangar attached to the main building which is used as a multidisciplinary and flight simulation laboratory.
In addition to the School’s facilities, the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Thermal Engines and Machines, Communications and Cartographic Engineering, Geodesy and Photogrammetry offer 16 additional laboratories for practical work: from manufacturing of composite materials to testing of aeroreactors and measurement techniques in fluid mechanics.
Master’s Thesis
The Master’s Thesis represents the last stage of the student’s training. It is a multidisciplinary work related to the subjects studied in the degree. In the preamble of the UPV framework regulations, which regulates all phases of the process, the TFM is defined as “an autonomous activity of the student with the support of one or more tutors where the final result must always be an individual work of the student, defended before a tribunal”. It is, therefore, an original exercise to be carried out individually and to be presented and defended before a university tribunal.
The main objective of a master’s thesis is to demonstrate the competencies acquired during the master’s degree training. Given its integrative nature, the theoretical and practical training acquired by the student will conclude with the elaboration and defense of this final thesis, which will contribute to complete the development of all the competencies established for the degree.
On the website of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design, you can find more detailed information about the process and each of the procedures to be carried out (Regulations and recommendations; Choice and assignment of TFM; Calendar for the Defenses; Evaluation Process; etc.).
