This UC aims to consolidate the academic training with a framed, oriented and practical learning linked to broad professional and vocational fields in criminology. With equal emphasis on the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes, it aims at enabling students to understand fundamental theories and concepts through application and practice, to develop their skills in authentic context and to create conditions for professional integration.

 By the end, students should have been able to:

- Apply and develop knowledge and skills acquired during the course and demonstrate their mobilization in addressing situations and analyzing issues, difficulties and practices raised in the training contexts;

- Adapt to an institutional context and professional practice and demonstrate a responsible conduct in the approach of tasks;

- Develop skills of planning, systematic and critical reflection on the internship experience and be able to communicate this analysis through an academic report.

This UC aims to complement the academic training with a framed and comprehensive practical perspective, which responds to the diversity of application areas of Criminology. It provides the direct contact with the different contexts of professional practice of Criminology , aiming the consolidation and development of technical-scientific and deontological competences.

Can be accomplished in services , institutions or projects in various areas of criminological intervention. Can still be realized through the integration in a research project in the School of Criminology. The syllabus therefore depend on the crossing between the demands posed by the specific experiences and institutional contexts where the internship takes place and the knowledge acquired during the study programme. This integration is one of the main goals of academic guidance provided to the students.

This course is eminently practical , focusing on the work done by the student in the host environment . Supported by the guidance of a teacher and a supervisor (designated by the host entity), the development of the practical training can be described in two phases :

- The 1st , which consists essentially in observing the institution and practices of professionals, aims at gathering all the elements that enable the integration and adaptation of the workplan to the demands and needs of the host context .

- The 2nd provides conditions that allow progressively a more active and autonomous action of the trainee through situations of assisted circulation .

Academic supervision is done through weekly meetings with the student and through the collaboration with supervisors. The experience will be integrated in the final report .
