Internship

The internship is a very important activity for undergrad students of Architecture and Urbanism and Design, as it complements their learning with a real perspective of the world in the work done in companies or public agencies. The activity envisions the professional improvement in the filed of ​​study, applying practical knowledge acquired in the program. The mandatory internship is ruled by Brazilian Law (number 11.788 from 25th September 2008), but it is not set up as an employment, though. The practice has some rights, such as scholarships or salary, if agreed upon; the accomplishment of stablished working hours and the attainment of compulsory insurance against accidents; and after 1 year of internship, 30 days of paid leave. The school has an Internship Department, which offers support before and after the internships to our students.
