Internships and End-of-Course Project

Internships and End-of-Course Project

The End-of-Course Project and associated practices are carried out in the final phase of the Engineering studies and are a great opportunity to live a professional experience that meets to the needs of Companies, Universities and Technology Centres, both in Spain and abroad.

The End-of-Course Project and associated practices are carried out in the final phase of the Engineering studies, with a duration of 10 months at full time, thus constituting a training activity whose achievement is a prerequisite for obtaining the degree.

In order to guarantee that they are properly developed, the Higher Polytechnic School has a team of Project coordinators in charge of managing the process of recruitment, assignment and supervision of the End-of-Course Projects carried out by the students.

During the completion of the End-of-Course Project, students have the option to live a professional experience that meets the needs of Companies, Universities and Technology centres, both in Spain and abroad. In it, students apply in a real environment the knowledge and skills acquired in their academic training and acquire new skills, which prepare them for professional performance and facilitate their integration in the institutions where they develop or even allows them to undertake their own entrepreneurial initiative.

According to the third quarter report of 2012 of LANBIDE, of the Polytechnic School of Mondragon University, 30% of engineering students were hired by the company at the end of the End-of-Course Project (one of the highest rates in the university system).

The End-of-Course Projects are usually carried out in companies on a full-time basis, and students receive a study grant of approximately €500 per month (in the last 5 years, 100% of students in this grade obtained this scholarship).
