PROFESSIONAL INTERSHIPS
The Professional Internships program was established between ISA and a set of entities. These internships should have a duration of 4 to 5 months, and take place during the 2nd semester.
To consult the professional internship themes proposed by each organisation/company and obtain their contact details, click on the logo below.












The organisation/company where the internship will be held will:
- be responsible for the payment of any travel expenses necessary for the proper performance of the tasks in the work plan by the student.;
- agree with the student the work regime (face-to-face, remote or mixed) and the schedule to be fulfilled, and the workload may not exceed 35 hours per week.
The tasks to be carried out by the trainee must be previously approved by the MEFRN Course Committee and the writing of the final report of the professional internship must be carried out within the working hours of the internship, and be listed as one of the tasks to be performed.
The orientation team will consist of an ISA professor or doctoral researcher and a tutor from the organisation/company.
