By external practices is understood the training action developed by the students and supervised by the University with the aim of applying and complementing the
knowledge acquired through academic training, bring the student closer to the reality of the professional field in which he will work once he has graduated and
develop skills that favor their incorporation into the labor market.
External internships can be carried out in academic or administrative units of the same university or in collaborating entities, whether
public or private entities, national or foreign. The Tecnocampus Foundation can also act as a receiving organization for internship students.
During their internship in the collaborating entity, students will carry out tasks specific to the professional field in which they will exercise their
activity as graduates, with the aim of completing the theoretical and practical learning acquired with their academic training and acquiring work experience in
the levels to which, due to their qualification, they can access.
Students will be subject to the schedule and rules set by the collaborating entity. The schedule established by the same must guarantee, in any
case, the compatibility with the students' school hours and the flexibility necessary to fulfill the obligations derived from the academic activity,
training and representation and participation of students at the University.
External academic practices can be curricular and extracurricular. Curricular practices are those listed in the study plan with the corresponding one
allocation of credits. Internships can only be considered curricular when the students are in 4th year and have registered the corresponding credits. 

ECTS credits: total hours of student work.

A minimum of 4 ECTS credits can be enrolled and a maximum of 20. 30 hours of dedication to external academic practices is equivalent to 1 ECTS credit.

Recognition of professional activity
Students who demonstrate professional experience in a field related to audiovisual media may receive credit recognition. The ratio
to recognize each ECTS credit is 160 hours.

The minimum number of credits that can be recognized is 12 ECTS (1.920 hours) and the maximum is 14 ECTS (2.240 hours).
The recognition of professional activity is equivalent in the academic field to the concept of external practices. Therefore, in the degree they cannot be recognized
academically, the external practices and enroll in the subject of external practices regardless of the crediting of these.
The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards the students or towards the
faculty We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Within the framework of the new study plans adapted to the European Higher Education Area, special emphasis has been placed on the possibility that students
university students do external internships, in order to achieve all the practical training necessary to complement the theoretical knowledge acquired with the training
academic, as well as acquiring the skills that prepare them for the exercise of professional activities.
External academic internships can be curricular and extracurricular.
Curricular practices are those that appear in the study plans with the corresponding allocation of credits and regardless of whether they are compulsory or optional.
This means that they must register in advance, that they must have a tutor, and that they must be assessed and qualified.
Extracurricular practices are those that students can do on a voluntary basis during their studies and that are not part of the
corresponding study plan. Students can start doing extracurricular internships when they have passed 60 ECTS of the degree (all 1st year passed).

The academic tutor is responsible for the final evaluation of external academic internships. The practices are evaluated at the end of the 3rd quarter of the 4th year.
The entity where the internships take place must appoint a tutor (external tutor) who will act in coordination with the academic tutor. The external tutor has
