Se presenta en este trabajo el resultado de un proyecto iniciado durante el curso 97-98, mediante el cual se articula la introducción de las prácticas en empresa como asignatura evaluable y con impacto curricular en nuestro plan de estudios. El sistema empleado, que ha implicado tanto a la Facultad como a los Servicios de Orientación Profesional y Empleo de la Universidad de Navarra (UN), así como al tejido empresarial, ha permitido mejorar y ampliar el horizonte profesional de nuestros alumnos, quienes desde fases tempranas de su formación, van adquiriendo habilidades que les permiten afrontar su futuro laboral con un mejor conocimiento de sus propias competencias.

This research work presents results from a project which was initiated during the academic year 1997-1998 in which internships in companies were incorporated as an academic course to be evaluated and with the obtainment of academic credits. The system used involved the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Services for Professional Orientation and Employment of the University of Navarra and private companies. This action has helped improve and broaden the professional horizon for our students, who very early on in their studies have been able to acquire the necessary skills that would permit their entrance into the work market upon completion of their studies with good, solid experience.
