Job placements
- These are compulsory or optional placements in accordance with the syllabus.
- The aim of these placements is
to introduce students to the real work conditions in this sector in order to improve their employability.
- The placements take place at diverse companies. An agreement is signed between the company, the student and the School of Tourism and Hotel Management.
- Students follow a planned and monitored programme that involves a rotation around the different business areas of the sector, both public and private: travel agents, hotel chains, public institutions, business associations, consultancies and congress organizers, among many others.
- Students can choose to do national or
international placements.
External academic placements can be curricular or extracurricular.
a) External placements are termed
curricular when they form part of the study programme, and count for ECTS credits.

b) Placements are deemed
extracurricular when they do not form part of the study programme and are completely voluntary on the part of the student. They must still be directly linked to the studies.
