As part of the practical training included in the Master in Sustainable Development, the students will carry out a mandatory Internship (from 4 to 6 months) or a Final Master's Project (real project applicable to companies or institutions).

The CEI will guide the students throughout the process through personalized advice and specific training on CV preparation, letters of motivation and preparation of personal interviews.

Practical tracks

In addition to the common theoretical modules, the master’s programme provides for two different practical tracks depending on the student’s profile: 

	Recent graduates will have the opportunity to complete an external curricular internship at a company or institution. The internship must be related to the content covered in the programme and will have an expected duration of 4 to 6 months (24 ECTS credits). There's also the possibility for recent gradutes to do a Master Final Thesis.
	Students from the professional world will have to complete a project that can be implemented at a company or institution.
