These are training activities allowing the students to apply the knowledge acquired during academic training, preparing them for professional activity and facilitating their access to employment.
The possibility of introducing external internships in the degrees has reinforced the commitment of the University with the working capacity of the future graduates, thus enriching the students' training in grade studies, in an environment which offers both them and the training personnel a deeper knowledge about the competences they will require in future. (List of Motives RD 1393/2007)
The University of Almeria, considering the importance of these external internships for the professional development of students, has included them in all grade studies, in order to enable all students to undertake them.
In this degree, external internships are obligatory.
Tutored internships are performed in nursing units in the different health and social-health assistance centres where students can acquire and develop the competences described in the degree.
Centres for External Internships
1. Servicio Sanitario Público de Andalucía (SSPA)
2. The Almeria Provincial Council.
3. Private Geriatric Homes
The possibility of including external internships is explicitly mentioned in the Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, establishing regulations for Official University Studies.

Exceptionally, when professional experience is accredited by work contract or by former professional insertion internships (company internships managed by the University of Almeria or other universities) and which include all the competences and knowledge related to the Internship subject, recognition of the number of credits of said subject may be authorized, with "pass" level result. In this case, this subject will not count for calculating the average mark of the academic record.
