A work placement or internship can help you to explore career options before graduating, gain industry-specific skills, and expand your professional networks. In general, there are three types of internships at the University of Granada:

Prácticas extracurriculares: These are optional internships that are managed by the Employment and Work Placement Office (CEP). They do not form part of a specific course curriculum and no do bear any ECTS credits. However, they can be included in your European Diploma Supplement (DS). You need to be registered in the "ÍCARO" Work Placement and Employment Portal to undertake these internships.

Prácticas curriculares: These internships are compulsory on specific degrees and must be completed in order to obtain the corresponding degree diploma (i.e. they are credit bearing). They are managed by each faculty or school. On certain master’s degrees, you may be able to apply to have your prior work experience officially recognised by the University (this is known as ‘reconocimiento de créditos’) and if given approval you will not be required to complete a compulsory internship.
