Student information

Academic calendar and schedule

Academic calendar

As students receive a large amount of practical training given in small groups, the teaching activity at the Faculty is carried out both in the morning and in the afternoon, although most of the teaching is during the morning. The high proportion of laboratory activities and the sequencing of theoretical classes on the basis of didactic considerations make it impossible to maintain a regular weekly schedule. However, students are informed in advance of all schedules.

Consult one or more selected topics.

The schedule is subject to change. Don’t forget to check the schedule often. Changes, if necessary, will be updated to personal schedule.

Totes les pràctiques hauran de tenir un conveni que es formalitzarà un cop l'estudiant hagi estat acceptat per l'entitat col·laboradora.

Cal formalitzar el conveni entre la Universitat, l'entitat i l'estudiant abans de començar les pràctiques.

Els convenis són gestionats per la secretaria de la Facultat, conjuntament amb el Servei de Carreres Professionals de la UPF.

Nou! A partir de l'1 de gener de 2024, previsiblement, serà obligatòria la inclusió dels estudiants que facin pràctiques no remunerades al règim de cotització de la Seguretat Social ( link amb informació per a l'estudiant // link amb informació per a l'entitat col·laboradora).

El procediment que per formalitzar el conveni de pràctiques és diferent en funció del tipus de pràctiques que es realitzi:
