According to Article 9.4 and 14.4 bis of the REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE RECOGNITION AND TRANSFER OF CREDITS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE , extracurricular internships managed by the University of Seville or any other University, under the same degree for which recognition is requested, may be recognized as curricular internships, provided that the accredited training program of the same is related to the competencies inherent to the degree.

Therefore, it will be possible to recognize extracurricular practices as curricular practices as long as the following requirements are met:

• No prior curricular internships have been completed.
• Extracurricular internships have been managed by the University of Seville or any other University under the same degree that is being studied.
• The extracurricular internship has been completed and the number of hours completed exceeds the hours corresponding to the recognition of the subject “Business Internships” of the degree.

In both modalities (curricular and extracurricular internships), the requirements necessary for a student of the ETSi to be able to carry out internships in a company are:

• Be enrolled in one of the qualifying undergraduate or master's degrees at the Higher Technical School of Engineering during the academic year in which the internship will be carried out.
   
• In the case of undergraduate students, having passed 50% of the credits of the degree.
   
• Register on the ÍCARO platform and enroll in the student internship program at the University of Seville.
   
• If the internship involves regular contact with minors, participants must obtain, before beginning the internship, a certificate of no criminal record for sexual offenses . This certificate must also be submitted to the School's External Internship Service.

Any student undertaking an external internship will be supervised by two figures:

• University Academic Tutor: will be a professor from the ETSi.
• Company Guardian: person linked to the company, with professional experience and knowledge to carry out effective guardianship.

Company internships will be published in the digital media indicated below:

• News section on internship opportunities at ETSi companies (Curricular and extracurricular internships)
  Internship opportunities in companies
   
• ÍCARO platform. Used by university administrators to advertise extracurricular internships (EMPLEAMUS). The URL to access ÍCARO is https://us.portalicaro.es/.

Throughout each semester and until May, the ETSi International Relations Office will post the available internships for each degree program on the notice board as they become available from companies. Students can apply for the internships that interest them by following the procedure outlined in the announcement.
It is recommended to check the notice board frequently, as the internships are updated regularly throughout the academic year.

• Curricular Internship Placement Process:
  Curricular internships will be assigned based on strictly academic criteria, as outlined in Article 32.3 of the University of Seville's Regulations for External Academic Internships. Students in the requested degree program who apply and meet the eligibility requirements will be ranked from highest to lowest grade point average (GPA), and placements will be assigned accordingly. The selected students' information will be communicated to the company. Following the placement, the International Relations Office will contact the student to complete the necessary administrative procedures before the internship begins.
   
• Registration procedure for the subject “Work Placement”
  Once a curricular internship has been assigned, the successful candidate must enroll in the "Internship in a Company" course. To do so, they may modify their enrollment by replacing one or more elective courses with the "Internship in a Company" course, provided that the following conditions are met:
   
  • This modification does not entail an economic variation in the tuition fee, that is, without changing the number of credits
  • The student has not taken any exam for the subject(s) to be removed.
    
    The deadline for making this change is May 31st of the current academic year.

Another possibility is to expand the enrollment to include the subject "Internship in a Company".

In any case, the deadline to register for the "Work Placement" course is May 31st. The placement can begin later, provided there is enough time to complete it within the academic year, but the administrative process must be completed before the deadline.

The student must contact the ETSi International Relations Office ( practicascurriculares-etsi@us.es ) to obtain an enrollment authorization document. This document must be submitted to the Registrar's Office to complete enrollment.

The academic tutor may contact the student during the development of the curricular practice to monitor it, either in person or via email requesting interim monitoring reports.

If your internship is managed through ICARO

Students are required to submit a mandatory Evaluation Report of at least five pages upon completion of their curricular internship for the University to properly process the internship. The report may be submitted through the ÍCARO platform starting seven days before the end of the internship period. Students must also complete the satisfaction survey on the ÍCARO platform.

Once the student has submitted the report on the ÍCARO platform, they must send an email to practicascurriculares-etsi@us.es requesting the evaluation of the practice by the academic tutor.

● If your internship is not managed through ÍCARO (Air Force, Non-Healthcare internships, and others)

Upon completion of the work placement, the student must submit the following documentation in person to the Secretariat:

• Final report with a minimum length of 5 pages. This report must contain the following information:

● ICARO Platform

The student must be registered on the platform.

• Secretariat for Internships in Business and Employment at the US
• Students can also promote an agreement between the University of Seville and a company that interests them and offers them an internship , or they can find an extracurricular internship independently. In both cases, it is essential that the company in question has a signed agreement with the University of Seville before the student begins working there.

STEP 2. Application for extracurricular practice

When the student finds an internship that matches their profile, they must submit the documentation required in the offer description.

STEP 3. Awarding

If the student has been selected, the company will contact the student and provide them with the selection documents.

STEP 4. Submission of documentation

The student must submit proof of enrollment for the current course and a copy of their ID to the ETSi's International Relations Office . Once these steps have been completed, the student can begin their internship when the company indicates.

It may require the student to appear in person to sign the selection documents, if they have not already done so at the company.

● Monitoring of Extracurricular Practice by the Academic Tutor

The academic tutor may contact the student during the internship to monitor its progress, either in person or via email, requesting interim progress reports.
