Internship / Gastronomical Project

N/A

Students will be encouraged to organize their learning process through a quasi-professional methodology, of autonomous and cooperative character in a real work or research context. This course is of continuous assessment and it is not possible to be assessed by final examination, as it presupposes a continuous and supervised work throughout the academic year. There are two ways of carrying out the Internship / Gastronomic Project. 1:

1. Modality A: full internship in an organisation in the sector (tourism/gastronomy/food industry/among others), with the delivery of a report presenting the activities developed within the internship and integrating an applied research project;

2. Modality B: completion of a research work on which an empirical study or monograph can be developed (in the case of student-workers or others duly justified), excluding from this modality the requirement of full internship in an organisation in the sector.

In order to complement the students’ training through their contact with different activities related to their future professional activity, the following objectives are established
1. To favour an experience of approach to the labour market;
2. To train students for the activities they may develop, according to the profiles established for the Degree in Gastronomy. 3;
3. To provide students with social, personal and technical skills (hard and soft skills) that will allow them to consolidate, through observation and practice, exercised in a real context, the knowledge acquired during the Gastronomy degree.
