Specific Competences
General Competences
Basic Skills
Transversal Competences
The student and the supervisor will design the research project to be developed by the student during the period of the master. Based on a hypothesis they will define the main goals of the project and plannify the experimental work.
The student will join the research group and learn the skills needed to develop his project, perform the experiments, analyze the results and draw conclusions.
At the end of the experimental period, the student will prepare a written report of the work done and he will publicly present his work to a committee composed of three master’s professors.
The process of teaching and learning will take place through the following activities:
1. Definition and characteristics of the Master's Thesis
The Master's Thesis (TFM) consists on the execution of an original research project by using all the knowledge and competences acquired during the Master syudies. The TFM may be carried out as part of the habitual research activity of a group therefore the subject can be related to any of the Master’s subjects. The TFM will be conducted under the supervision of a master professor or an outside director. In this case the student will have a tutor inside the master.
2. Election of TFM project
The student can choose to perform the TFM in a group of IRBLleida or external, depending on his/her preferences on the investigation subject.
On the website there are available some TFM offers from IRBLleida research groups (www.biotecnologiasalut.udl.cat/ca/ofertes-TFM). However the student should not be limited to those offers, but he/she can contact directly with researchers working on projects of interest.
TFM coordinator will guide and help to find a group those students who are doubtful or not easily find what they seek.
3. Inscription of TFM
Once the student has a project supervisor, he/she must fill-in the application for TFM registration and submit it to the coordinator of the Master (before the first week of February)
4. Performance of experimental work
The student can join the research group from the beginning of the Master, and so he/she can start to learn techniques that will require in their work. From February to June, the student will be devoted full time to complete the realization of the experimental part of the TFM.
With the help of the supervisor, the student must hypothesize, define the objectives and plan the experiments. He/she will learn all research techniques needed, will perform the experiments and finally analyze the results to draw conclusions.
5. TFM memory
The TFM memory must be written on a scientific report format with the following structure:
The memory will have a length of 30-50 pages with font size 12 and spacing of 1.5.
The student will deposit 3 printed copies and bound to the Coordinator of the Master within the deadlines. He also deposit a copy in electronic form in the "Espai compartit" in the Virtual Space of “Treball Final de Màster” (14708).
1st term: before July 25
2nd term: before October 24 (by request).
6. Oral Defense
The oral and public defense will be of 15-20 minutes and discussion with the evaluation committee will be about 10-15 min. The total time for the defense of the TFM can not exceed 30 minutes.
Composition of the Evaluation Committee
The committee that will evaluate the TFM will be composed of 3 professors of the Master: two professors proposed by the Academic Committee of the Master will be Evaluator-1 and 2, and the Master’s coordinator will be the evaluator-3 of the committee. The Academic Committee will decide the evaluator alternates.
Evaluation of the TFM.
The evaluation of the TFM will be done on the basis of the evaluation rubrics stated at the virtual campus of TFM.
The TFM director will grade the execution of the experimental work and the student attitude by filling-in the “Ficha de evaluación del director”.
Each member of the committee will grade the student, considering the written scientific report and the oral defense by filling-in the “Ficha de evaluación del comité”.
The final score will be calculated as the average of the grades from the evaluation committee and the director.
