Master's Thesis
{{pre.error[0].message}}
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.
Master’s Thesis Requirements
The Curriculum may include special conditions that are necessary to enrol or defend the master’s thesis.

Introduction to the Assessment and Defence Panels
According to Art.4 of the Regulations for the carrying out of the Bachelor's Dissertations and the Master's Thesis in the official education programmes of the University of Almeria approved by the Governing Council of December 5, 2012, for the evaluation of the Bachelor's Dissertations/Master’s Theses, the Teaching/Academic Committee of the degree will constitute as many Evaluation Committees as it deems appropriate, composed of three teachers who give lessons in that degree, appointing among them a Chairman and a Secretary. Likewise, a substitute shall also be appointed who will act in the absence of any of the full members of the Evaluation Committee. The composition of these committees shall be communicated to the Service responsible for the management of the Bachelor's Dissertation/Master’s Thesis, which shall make them public.
If the Teaching/Academic Committee of the Bachelor's Degree/Master's considers it convenient, external teachers may form part of the Evaluation Committee who must be doctors, in the case of the Research Masters, and/or professionals, who must be holders of an bachelor's degree or equivalent and must have professional experience in the field of knowledge of the corresponding degree, in the case of Bachelor's Degrees or Masters with professional orientation.
The Teaching/Academic Commission will determine the Evaluation Committee that will assess the Dissertations/Theses submitted, if there are more than one committee.
