At the University of Seville there are two types of internships:

1. Curricular internships: These are internships included in the degree programs offered at the Higher Technical School of Engineering (ETSI). Students must enroll in the "Internship in a Company" course once their internship has been assigned.

• Undergraduate students: 225-hour internship, 2 months at 5 hours/day
• Master's students: internships whose hours correspond to the number of credits of the subject (25 hours per credit) , maximum 300 hours for subjects of 12 ECTS credits and 375 hours for 15 ECTS.

These internships are free of charge, both in terms of stipend or study grant and management fee, as there is no obligation to pay any financial aid to the student. In this case, only a selection agreement is generated and signed by all parties.

If the company wishes to pay for the internship through the ETSI (School of Engineering), a financial management agreement must first be established with AICIA, the financial intermediary for the ETSI. This agreement would include a choice of payment method and the company would assume responsibility for all expenses incurred and payable to the ETSI before the internship begins. In this case, the ETSI will register the student with Social Security (non-subsidized) and provide accident insurance.

The curricular practice must be completed before the end of the current academic year (August 31).

Once the curricular internship is completed, it can be extended with an extracurricular internship. This can be undertaken for a minimum of 200 hours and a maximum of 600 hours (6 months at 5 hours/day).
This extension of extracurricular internships involves financial management by the ETSI, or only a management fee and accident insurance.

Deadline for managing curricular internships: management and registration ends on May 31.

2. Extracurricular internships: also for undergraduate and master's students. These can be undertaken with a minimum of 200 hours and a maximum of 600 hours (6 months at 5 hours/day).

In these practices there are two management possibilities:

• Payment of the student grant through AICIA , the ETSi's financial intermediary: minimum €250/month. An AICIA financial management agreement must be signed. Social Security registration (a fixed monthly fee of €60.99, regardless of whether the registration covers the entire month or just a few days) and accident insurance are provided for the student. The entire internship period will be invoiced and must be paid by the company to the ETSi before the student begins.
• Payment of the student stipend directly by the company . The company will pay the student stipend and register the student with Social Security. In this case, the ETSI, through AICIA, will generate a single invoice at the start of the internship for the management fee. From January 1, 2023, the management fee is €50/month + VAT , regardless of the stipend amount.

The company must send the following documentation relemp-etsi@us.es

• Signed and sealed selection record.
• Copy of the student's ID card.
• Copy of the proof of enrollment for the current course in which the student is enrolled.

In payment option B, it is not necessary to sign an AICIA economic management agreement.

Deadline for managing extracurricular internships: the management ends on June 30th.

The corresponding invoices will be issued by AICIA under the contract associated with the Public Service Management Procurement File, in the interested management modality 11/VTT04, corresponding to the “Economic Management of the Internships in Companies of the Students of the Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville” , approved by resolution of November 29, 2014; all in accordance with the “Technical Specifications for the Contracting of the Public Service Management in the Interested Management Modality, of the Economic Management of the Internships in Companies of the Students of the Higher Technical School of Engineering” .

It is an essential requirement that the student be enrolled for the entire duration of the internship. All internships must be completed by August 31st of the current academic year.

In the case of extracurricular internships, the company must have paid the invoices issued before the student's incorporation.

Step 1. Signing the external internship agreement with the University of Seville

Companies interested in collaborating with the ETSI by offering internships must first sign an agreement with the University of Seville, if they have not already done so, establishing the terms of the collaboration. The management of these agreements with companies is handled through the University of Seville's Office of Internships and Employment.

Step 2. Publishing the internship offer on the Ícaro platform

The company must publish the internship offers on the ICARO

The ETSi's International Relations Office, having received the internship offer for ETSi students through ÍCARO , will also publish the offer on its "Internship Opportunities" notice board. The ETSi's International Relations Office is also responsible for collecting the necessary documentation for each published offer.

Step 3. Student Selection

• Curricular internships. The student is selected based on their grade point average and their information is reported to the company by the ETSI's International Relations office.
• Extracurricular internships. Once the CVs of students interested in the offered internship have been received, the ETSI International Relations Office will send this documentation to the company so they can select the candidate. The company will then inform the ETSI International Relations Office of the selected student so that the internship arrangement process can begin.
