The commitment of the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra to the employability of its graduates is evidenced by the high issue of external internships offered to students each academic year. During the 2015-16 academic year, the Internship Service and employment of the School of Architecture managed 103 internships for its students.

Among the students, it is worth mentioning that 40 students combine the project Final Degree (PFG) with internships at business, and 32 of them completed the project abroad, combining it with internships at programs of study and international companies. This program, which the School launched three years ago, "PFG International", combines the completion of the Final project with an international experience through professional internships in programs of study architecture, with the supervision of a professor from the School. Last year, internships were carried out in Amsterdam, Mexico and London.

It is worth mentioning that the School's students carried out professional internships at programs of study and companies in countries such as the Philippines, Mexico, Vietnam, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Indonesia, Nicaragua and Qatar. At the national level, we could highlight some destinations such as: Vicens+Ramos, Ecosistema Urbano, Smarts Urban Projects, and Mangado y Asociados.

Employability

The School has an Internship Service and employment which acts as an intermediary between the business world and the university world. Among its objectives are the search for university employment and the improvement of innovation and competitiveness of business.

"In addition to searching for internships for students, we advise students - both through personal interviews and information sessions - and inform companies, in addition to monitoring the internships carried out (verifying the achievement of objectives and the expected learning outcomes)," says Javier Irigaray, manager of Career Services at the School.

During the last academic year, this service attended more than 60 students and organized various training sessions on topics such as digital image, leadership, public speaking or marketing staff, which were attended by more than 200 students.
