In addition, the faculty counts on the colaboration of sveral professors that act as academic coordinators and whose function is to tutorize and help our own and host students in their academic decissions.
The optional subject ‘Internships in a Company’ must be taken by the students that want to get the Master's Degree for professional orientation. These are programmed in the second semester so that the students will possess the major part of the competencies developed in the obligatory subjects. The main aim is that students develop competencies through their immersion in a work environment representative of the future professional context.
The specific activities to be carried out will vary depending on the position and the organization (company or institution) in which the student carries out the internship, always linked with the established competencies. Each academic year a list of the companies and institutions with which collaboration agreements have been signed will be made public.
The Master’s Thesis will consist of the planification, elaboration, presentation and defense of an original project that demonstrates the acquired competences throughout the Master’s Degree. This project will include, at least, tasks of bibliographic search and review, reading and integration of information, elaboration of outlines, writing, presentation and defense of the final work. depending on the topic to be dealt with it may also include an empirical part or a case study.
For the planification and elaboration of the Master’s Thesis and its defense, the tutor will guide and advise the student about the documentary sources to be used, the format and the structure of the project, and, finally, about its posterior elaboration and presentation.
