Training stays
Training periods of a fixed duration, under the supervision of researchers and qualified staff.
Research training placements
Cima Universidad de Navarra offers the opportunity to undertake summer internships, final degree projects (TFG), supervised internship rotations (RTP), final master's projects (TFM), or doctoral theses. These placements are open to students from UNAV and other universities, provided that there is a framework collaboration agreement signed between the student's home university and the University of Navarra.
All placements are supervised by CIMA researchers and integrated into active research projects, providing an excellent opportunity to experience scientific research firsthand and tackle the challenge of biomedical research for the first time. They offer the opportunity to join a laboratory team, learn about the daily work of a researcher, and develop practical skills specific to the scientific method. At the same time, they will allow you to deepen and give meaning to the theoretical knowledge of the degree, applying it directly to biomedical research projects.
The University of Navarra's biomedical training offerings in undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs are available in the faculties of Sciences, Pharmacy and Nutrition, and Medicine.

Summer internships
Every summer, Cima welcomes students interested in doing internships designed for students who wish to further their education during the second and third years of their degree. These internships allow you to experience research firsthand. The university is responsible for the administrative management of the internships and obligations to the General Treasury of the Social Security (TGSS).
Calls for applications will open annually in February.
TFG and RTP Program
The Final Degree Project (TFG) is an original research project that students carry out during their final year of study under the supervision of a Cima researcher working on active biomedical research projects.
The Research Training Program (RTP) is a special training program aimed at third-year students of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Biology, and is conducted in English. It incorporates the TFG research project and requires a greater time commitment.
TFM
The Master's Thesis (TFM) is an individual research project that is original and developed under the guidance of one or more tutors assigned at the beginning of the Master's program. In addition to scientific training, personalized tutoring facilitates the identification of student needs, improves their performance, and guides their professional development.
Doctoral thesis
Doctoral theses at Cima are carried out within the official doctoral programs of the corresponding faculty (Sciences, Pharmacy and Nutrition, and Medicine), complemented by a Research Training Plan designed by Cima to strengthen and support this key stage in research training.
The doctoral student carries out their research project in a Cima laboratory, under the supervision of one or two researchers.
