Information for the student – Citizenship and Human Rights: Ethics and Politics

The final master's thesis (TFM) will consist of a research work on a topic related to the chosen specialty, directed by a master's teacher, who will follow up on the task carried out by the student and attend to their questions about the content and the form of work. The maximum length of the TFM should be 70 pages maximum, approximately 25,000 words. It will be evaluated by a commission formed by three teachers of the master.

Three printed copies must be sent, one to each member of the court, before September 4, 2024. The student must contact the members of their commission before that date, in order to deliver the works (the coordination of the master's degree does not collect works). The reading and public defense of the work will take place the first half of September, at the place and time that will be announced in due time. The TFM final grades will be made public at the faculty counter 24 hours after all the papers have been evaluated.

It is important for students to remember that the defense of work must be requested, by means of the appropriate document, before May 2, 2024 signed by the tutor. No work that has not been previously registered will be accepted.

Credits: 10.

Duration: annual.

Date of delivery of the application: May 2, 2024.

Date of delivery of the TFM: September 4, 2024.
