The Master’s Thesis involves the students carrying out a project, report or study, in which they apply and develop their acquired knowledge. This will be carried out individually, under the guidance of the supervisor(s) assigned. Joint work will not be allowed.

Master’s Theses must be carried out during the final stage of the curriculum and be oriented towards assessing competencies associated with the degree. The work will conclude with the master’s thesis defence, which will necessarily be public.

The assessment conditions to be met, regarding the obligation to have successfully completed the planned assessments provided for in the other curricular subjects, must be reflected in the report of the corresponding degree.
