Internships
The external internships for students of the Master’s Degree in Organization and Logistics Engineering are regulated by the Regulations on Internships in Companies and Institutions of the UPV (BOUPV 04/2012, no. 59), and by the EPSA’s own regulations, approved by the Board of the Center on 26/07/2013. The most important points of these regulations are summarized below.
Curricular Practices
These academic activities are part of the syllabus of the Master’s Degree in Organization and Logistics Engineering.
- They are voluntary.
- They can be done from the moment the enrollment of the degree is activated.
- The student must be enrolled in the external internship subject in the corresponding course.
- Curricular internship credits are paid for at the price established for official teaching credits, since they are part of the curriculum.
- The credits taken in curricular internships are interchangeable for Master’s degree courses, but do not validate them.
- The maximum credits to be earned in the Master’s Degree in Organizational and Logistics Engineering are 6 ECTS, which correspond to 150 hours of curricular internships.
Extracurricular Internships
Students may perform them on a voluntary basis during their training period.
- They have the same purposes as the curricular internships, but are not part of the Master’s curriculum.
- They are reflected in the European Diploma Supplement (EDS).
- A maximum of 900 hours of extracurricular internships may be carried out.
General Terms and Conditions
- In order to do an external internship, students must be enrolled in the university education to which the competencies to be acquired by the student in the internship are linked, and must not have passed all the credits of the degree.
- Students may dedicate a maximum of 40 hours per week to external academic internships.
- The external practices of EPSA students are remunerated taking as a reference the resolution of the Vice-Rector for Employment and Entrepreneurship of the UPV, on October 2, 2017, which approves a minimum amount of financial aid for students of external academic practices. The minimum established is 4.6 €/hour.
