Abstract

This essay deals with the characteristics of internships in postgraduate students training and aims to analyse the particular importance of virtual and distance internships for postgraduates of different academic programs in the specializations of information sciences (ICT). Current trends in university education led to models that link practice with theory obtained in the classroom; In this sense, internships and short-term research stays have taken more and more interest in universities; Above all, due to the partial or total restrictions in university capacity due to COVID-19 prevention issues, which have limited these stays in the different centres, institutions, and organizations where they used to be done. The main advantages and disadvantages of virtual internships in postgraduate information science are highlighted
