Mobility

En la USC, la movilidad de estudiantes propios y de acogida está regulada por:
Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitario de estudiantes de la USC e información: https://www.usc.gal/es/normativa/Alumnado/index.html
https://www.usc.gal/gl/servizos/area/internacional

Internships

Prácticas curriculares presenciales externas. Permitirán al alumno conocer de primera mano cómo se trabaja en diferentes entornos en los que se utilizan de forma práctica los conocimientos que se imparten en el Máster, dándole la oportunidad de elegir entre diferentes tipos de actividades, según su formación y experiencia.

El programa obliga al alumno a investigar en un tema seleccionado entre las diferentes líneas de investigación que se ofertan, a formular nuevas hipótesis y trabajar intensamente para desarrollar las actividades que se le proponen a lo largo del curso académico de forma continuada. Además, los alumnos deben diseñar un estudio, elaborar protocolos característicos de investigación en embarazadas, lactantes, placenta, niños y adolescentes, conocer, comprender y tener en cuenta las implicaciones éticas, realizar la investigación, hacer los análisis estadísticos, y aprender cómo se publican y diseminan los resultados. Los tutores asignados supervisarán el trabajo del alumno.

All the professors are involved in teaching on a European level, belong to consolidated maximum impact research groups and collaborate with the Universities of the consortium NUTRENVIGEN-G+D Factors in the development of different European projects for over 10 years.

This guarantees the up-to-date training of students and that the relationship between the professors from the different participating universities favours the signing of agreements between different centres of recognised national and international prestige.
