Information for the student

• The student must be enrolled in the Faculty of Philology and Communication in the course for which the internship is chosen.
• In the case of undergraduate degrees, the student must have passed at least 50% of the credits (120 credits).

• Have the Social Security Number (NUSS) or Affiliation Number. Access the UB external practice management application (GIPE) and enter the NUSS in the GIPE, in the "My CV" section.

• Extracurricular internships can be conceived as a “bag” of a total of 1,500 hours that students, once they have obtained 120 credits of their degree, can begin to carry out throughout their university life. The distribution of these hours of non-curricular practices is not previously established. Once the 1,500 hous were exhausted, students could no longer do more, even if they were still enrolled in more courses.
• The student can carry out a maximum of 5 hours of practice per day (equivalent to 25 hours per week), which can be extended to 8 hours per day in non-teaching periods.
• The student will receive remuneration in the form of a scholarship or study aid.
• The internships must be carried out within the academic period to which the enrollment entitles, which includes from September 15 to September 14 of the following year.
• The tasks in which the student collaborates must complement their theoretical and practical training; therefore, they must be directly related to the studies you are taking.
• The student must be registered and discharged from the Social Security by the entity, which must settle the contributions before the Treasury of the Social Security, according to current legislation.
• At the end of the internship, the student must hand in a short internship report, which will be evaluated by their academic tutor. This assessment, together with the final report of the institution tutor, will serve to obtain academic recognition of these practices in the European Degree Supplement (SET).
• In addition, once the internship period has ended, the student can request from the institution a certificate of completion of the internship that will serve as a reference letter for future jobs.

• The practice schedule cannot interfere with the student's class schedule.
• The student cannot have any employment relationship with the institution where the internship takes place.
• External extracurricular practices do not involve recognition of credits.
• The issuance of the student's academic degree during the internship period will entail the termination of the training project and, therefore, the interruption of the internship stay.

Students interested in carrying out non-curricular externships must:

• Access the computer platform for the comprehensive management of the external practices of the University of Barcelona (called GIPE) through one of these two options:

1. the direct link to the GIPE, which requires authentication with a UB identifier.
2. the corresponding web page of "UB Job", which requires authentication with UB identifier.

• Register in the GIPE.
• Attach your resume.
• Sign up for the call for external non-curricular internships for the corresponding academic year.
• Consult the available offers and select the offer or offers that suit your academic profile in which you are interested.

From this point on, the area in charge of internship management will process the request and facilitate the relationship between students and entities in order to achieve the best service for both parties. If you want to make any query, you can contact fil-practiques@ub.edu.
