TFM
The Final Master’s Degree project (“TFM”) is the name given to one of the compulsory subjects included in the University Master's Degree in Clinical Research.
The TFM is worth 15 ECTS credits, which is equivalent to 330 hours per student, and covers all the tasks relating to the search for data and preliminary information, programming, planning and structuring of contents, organisation and development.
The TFM will be carried out individually by each student, who will be tutored and accompanied by a lecturer-tutor who guides them in the process. For this purpose, individual tutorials and/or cooperative working groups will be organised to help students to integrate the theoretical and practical teaching delivered throughout the course.
The student must show that they are able to describe and analyse the problem to be investigated, based on prior scientific research and background, through the programming of research objectives and design, suitable applications and the development of scientific method, as well as establishing the methodology for evaluation of the results.
Both the development and the assessment of the TFM will be supervised by the Master’s Academic Committee, comprising lecturers from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
The Master’s Academic Committee is responsible for:
- Assigning a tutor according to the subject and number of students.
- Proposal and appointment of TFM defence panellists.
- Development of assessment rubrics and consensus of criteria.
- Submitting a proposal for TFM defence.
- Ensure the competency-based assessment process and the acquisition of competencies by students.
