General information

  • ECTS: 12 ECTS
  • Master's Final Project Regulations
  • Requirements: The Regulation of Assessment and Qualification of Apprenticeships in the Degrees and Masters of the University of Lleida (approved by the Governing Council of 29 June 2023) provides that students may only enrol in the TFM when they register all outstanding credits to complete the degree.

Development plan

The development of the subject is carried out in three phases, a) Selection of the Topic, b) Preparation of the TFM, and c) Deposit.

a) Topic Selection (September). The topic will be selected through a scheduled activity on the virtual campus. During this phase, each student will be assigned a supervisor.

b) Preparation of the Master's Thesis (September-May). The student will prepare the Master's Thesis, and the Master's Thesis Director will provide detailed guidance and follow-up.

c) Deposit (January or May). The deposit must be made in the VIRTUAL CAMPUS ACTIVITIES section in one of the following two installments:

1. Until January 9, 2026 at 11:00 p.m.
2. Until May 25, 2026 at 11:00 p.m.

The deposit includes two documents:

1. TFM memory.
2. Signed report from the tutor (model available in the Resources section).

If the final project is not submitted within either of the two deadlines, the grade "Not Submitted" will be applied to the official transcript. The student will have to register again (2026-2027 registration) and may retake the course in the corresponding semester.

System of evaluation

The evaluation of the TFM consists of three sections (percentage on the final rating): a) Director (reasoned report, heading [optional]), b) Memory (70%), and c) Oral defense (30%).

Paragraph a) is carried out by the director of the TFM. The director has to authorize the submission of the TFM by means of the reasoned report (optional heading).

Paragraphs b) and c) are carried out by an evaluation committee made up of 2 different teachers from the director (president and vocal), who teach at MPGS or have a minimum master’s degree. Memory and oral defense can be done in Catalan or Spanish.

The student’s oral defense will be for a maximum of 20 minutes. The two members of the committee will make questions and comments that the student will have to answer and argue. This discussion with the committee will be about 15 minutes maximum. The date, time and place of the TFM oral defense will be communicated to students at least three days before the day set for the oral defense.

The TFM that exceeds if the final assessment [Memory + Oral Defense] >= 5.00, according to the evaluation rubric applied to the criteria of each section. All items in the heading are scored with a quantitative value that can vary between 0 and 1 (0, 0.1, 0.2, ... 0.8, 0.9, 1).
