BA Animation Degree

Internships in companies are a key element in your training. Gaining experience after what you have learned in your degree is the best way to enter the labor market. There are two types of internships, curricular (included in your curriculum) and extracurricular (those you can do voluntarily).

To carry out curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and enroll the subject before starting your internship. These practices are monitored by the company and the internship teacher, as well as the realization of intermediate and final reports for evaluation.

If you want to improve your work experience before finishing your university education, you can do extracurricular internships. You can do them in any course but we remind you that the practices are a training complement to your studies; Therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout the career, the more you will get out of the internship experience.
