Jobs bank and placements

External academic placements can be curricular or non-curricular.

- Curricular ones form part of each syllabus, which determines their duration, and they count towards ECTS credits. 
- Non-curricular ones do not form part of the syllabus and are totally voluntary on the student's part. They must be directly related to the course being followed and must take up no more than half the study load for an academic year (750 hours). An academic year is taken to be the period between September of one year and September of the next.

To undertake a placement, students must meet the following requirements.

•    They must be enrolled on the university programme to which the basic competences to be acquired on the placement are linked. 
•    In the case of curricular placements, they must be enrolled on the associated subject within the corresponding syllabus. 
•    They must not be employed by the partner organisation where they wish to undertake the placement or be related up to the second degree of kinship to a manager or external tutor. 

Insurance

All students on the master's degree are covered by the School's insurance at the time of enrolment. 

Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona subscribes to educational cooperation agreements on curricular placements. For a placement to take place, company, student and school must subscribe to such an agreement. 

Students may not, under any circumstances, begin a placement without the relevant agreement in place. One of the purposes of the agreement document is to ensure proper cover in the event of an accident.  

All placement agreements for programmes at the School must be arranged through the Jobs Bank and Placements Unit of Fundació UAB.

Placement tutor

All students are assigned an academic placement tutor who keeps them informed about their assessments and provides guidance.

Periodically, the Schools post job offers and placement opportunities on their respective websites and on social media.
