- 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. More information
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. More information
Coaching
Students can enrol in coaching sessions and activities which are offered by the School's counseling service aimed to guide them to deploy their potential and develop their career plan.
The job placements are managed by the UAB Foundation's own Job Bank and Placements Unit.
