Facultad de Económicas y CC Empresariales

CEU San Pablo University, and more specifically its Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, decided to launch a subject that involves the compendium and coordination of two clearly differentiated subjects: Economic History and Economic Structure. This has meant, not only the definition of a single program that integrates all the knowledge of both subjects, but also that two lecturers teach the same subject in the same group. Thus, in Structure and Economic History there is a complete and total coordination of the subjects under study, which allows students to link the knowledge, acquired in both of them. Furthermore, this allows them to develop critical thinking, and to face the analysis of the main economic problems from different perspectives.

The purpose of this article is to see, through the experience of a group of Academic Tutors of curricular practices, if these serve to prepare the students in the acquisition and development of the competences and abilities that are needed in the present labour market and that serve them for the future. Secondly, we want to analyse what companies think about the training of our students when they work with them during the internship period. We want to test all this through the contents of the Final Reports that both our students and the Company Tutors have to send at the end of the internship period. This information is received through a tool, developed by the University, where students can carry out all the procedures related to the internship and can be in contact too with their Academic Tutor
