Information sessions are held in May and June on the subjects of external placements in the Bachelor's degrees in Law, CPA and Criminology for students interested in doing placements in the following academic year.
The procedure for students to follow at the start of the new academic year will depend on their studies.
All students of the Bachelor's degree in Criminology enrolled on placements are called to an information meeting between October and November where a catalogue of available places for that academic year is shown, explaining the contents and conditions of each of the placements. Students choose from a form the placements they wish to do and which are allocated according to the students’ order of preference and academic record. The final allocation of placement places is published in December. This signals the start to the administrative process for signing placement agreements between students, the organisations taking them on and the Faculty, so the placements can start in February or March.
Available places in the Bachelor's degree in Political and Administration Sciences for the following academic year are presented at the information meeting in May/June. The places are allocated to the students in question, according to order of preference and academic record. Students can therefore enrol with a pre-allocated place. On the other hand, additional placement offers reach the Faculty during the academic year and are published; following the standard procedure described below, the students in question can opt for it, by enrolling on the subject of External Placements outside the regular periods of enrolment.
A catalogue of placements in law-firm offices and placements offered under the standard procedure is offered in the Bachelor's degree in Law, as the offers arrive, through the app.
Standard procedure for obtaining a placement place:
All placement offers will be processed through the placement in companies app, where each of the offers will be steadily published with their educational content stated, associated skills and other conditions to be met. Having uploaded their curriculum to the app, students can opt for the placements of interest to them.
The selection can be made directly by the companies/organisations or through the placements office.
Once a student has their place confirmed and specified an agreement and educational are generated and sent to the parties to be digitally signed. Once student’s enrolled subject is confirmed and these two procedures completed, the placement can start.
The placements app enables placements to be monitored and tracked for each of the parties: companies, students and teachers/tutors.
In the case of pre-allocated placements (catalogue placements for Criminology and for Political Science and Administration, placements in law-firm offices for Law), places will need to be managed through the app, and as in the standard case, students will not be able to start their stay until the relevant educational cooperation agreement has been singed and they have enrolled.
In addition to the above-mentioned placement-allocation procedures, students, on contacting the placements officer, can propose a placement place with an organisation of their choice; the academic in charge of placements at the Faculty will verify the educational content of the proposal and its suitability in skills associated with the studies it deals with and, if appropriate, validate the placement; these are self-management placements that do not appear in public offers but which likewise need to be processed through the app.
Please note that placements cannot be carried out if the Educational Cooperation Agreement has not been signed and the student has not enrolled.
Once the above-mentioned procedures have been carried out, the following will need to be taken into account:
1.- The student contacts their tutor at the company and their academic tutor to specify the details of their allocated placement. If any information changes with respect to the information published in the proposal (e.g. placement start and end dates), the student must inform us by e-mail at practiquesempresa.dret@udg.edu
2.- If the student receives any financial grants:
- They will need to make their corresponding Social Security contribution, asset out in Royal Executive Order 1493/2011, of 24 October and Royal Executive Order 8/2014 of 4 July (100% subsidised curricular placements)
- 2% of the income will be retained as Income tax (IRPF).
3.- Students are covered by school insurance, except for those over the age of 28, who will have to take out a supplementary insurance policy when they enrol on their subject.
4.- School insurance only covers Spain. When travelling abroad, students must take out a voluntary travel policy and a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC - providing health care in countries in the European Community), or an E-AND-4 if travelling to Andorra.
5.- Student will have to contact their University tutor to monitor and assess their placements.
6.- Student’s compilation of a report and presentation on the placements website. This document must include a brief summary of the activities carried out and the results obtained. It must likewise be signed by the tutor at the company and by the student. The Faculty of Law will provide the student with report guidelines.
7.- The company or institution will send the centre the assessment report.
8.- The tutor at the University of Girona evaluates and grades the subject.
9.- The assessment will be given numerically in the corresponding study's subject records.
10.- Aimed at continually improving the company or institution's placement offer, the Faculty of Law will prepare an internal follow-up report on the placement in which they ask the student to complete a questionnaire about the tasks and conditions under which they completed their placement.
