We also offer to our incoming students the chance of undertaking “Laboratory training” recognized with 15 ECTS (half time) or 30 ECTS (full time). The time you should spend in a 30ECTS Lab Training would correspond to a full time job (7-8h per day) and to a part time job (4-5h per day) in the case of 15ECTS Lab Training. In that case, incoming students should contact themselves with the Research Group and obtain an acceptation before coming to our Faculty.

Steps for applying to an Internship at our Faculty

1- Check the research group you are interested in here

2- Contact the head of the group by e-mail showing that you are interested in becoming a part of the group + CV + Letter of motivation. If the head of the group agrees to have you as a trainee, then you will have to fill in an Internship Confirmation document (in case you come with the Erasmus Internship Programme) and send it to the head of the group to sign it. Finally, send it to ori-bio@ub.edu. If you come to do a lab training with the Erasmus Student Programme, the only document required would be an acceptance letter from the research group.

In case you come under the framework of the Erasmus Student Programme you can also check other  Research Institutions  (If you find a research group in an institution other than the faculty of biology please, contact us because it might be necessary to make some traineeship agreement with the institution)
