General description Os alumnos cursarán prácticas profesionais externas, en empresas ou institucións, por un 6 ECTS. A Facultade de Ciencias ten ampla experiencia na xestión deste tipo de actividade. O alumno deberá: 1) Ter superado cando menos 120 créditos ECTS, que deben incluir todos os de formación básica. 3) Superar o proceso selectivo que se puidera establecer. Os dous primeiros requisitos deberán reunirse ao peche da convocatoria de prácticas, non computándose os créditos obtidos con posterioridade.

Assessment comments

The work done during the internship and the report on the internship will be evaluated as a whole. Students are recommended to consult the evaluation rubric published on the Center's website. Only those students who complete the period of work in the company/institution (supervised work) and submit the summary report of the tasks for evaluation may obtain a grade higher than 4.5 (out of 10). Students who do not complete the period of work in the company/institution will receive a qualification proportional to the hours worked, always lower than 4.5 (out of 10). In the case of not being able to complete the work period due to force majeure, the student may plead before the dean of the center, who may suspend the effect of this evaluation rule.
