In order to defend the Master's Thesis, all the other subjects of the Master's Programme must be passed.

CORE COMPETENCES -To possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context. -Students are able to apply their acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study. -Students are able to integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgements on the basis of incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements. -Students are able to communicate their conclusions and the ultimate knowledge and rationale behind them to specialist and non-specialist audiences in a clear and unambiguous way. -That students possess the learning skills that will enable them to continue studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner. GENERAL COMPETENCES -Develop a knowledge of legal advice from national and international points of view in the field of regulated sectors. -Know how to identify conflicts of interest and know the techniques for their resolution in regulated sectors. -Know and know how to apply in practice the organisational, management and commercial environment of regulated activities. -Know and evaluate the different responsibilities linked to the exercise of professional activity in regulated sectors, including the functioning of legal assistance. -Accept the need for constant self-learning and continuous training as instruments that facilitate adaptation to legal, technological and organisational innovations in the sector of regulated activities. -Learn to apply the concepts, principles, theories or models related to legal consultancy in regulated sectors to new and multidisciplinary environments. SPECIFIC COMPETENCES -Develop a high level of specific technical knowledge of both the national and international regulatory framework of all matters affecting the Law of Regulated Sectors. -Provide technical tools for advising international companies in relation to their investments in the regulated activities sector. -To develop a strategic and holistic vision to tackle the legal problems common to the regulated sectors and which will allow them to formulate assessments on particularly complex cases that cover several subjects. -Know how to develop professional work in specific, interdisciplinary and international teams by acquiring the ability to integrate diverse contributions towards a common objective. -Develop a knowledge of the real professional activity in the different sectors from the point of view of both processes and resulting products.

The Master's Thesis is a subject consisting of a research project, original and unpublished, on a specific topic written in Spanish under the supervision of a lecturer and its public presentation before a panel where the main results obtained in the research will be defended. There are two ways of preparing the Master's Thesis: i) a professional modality to which a response must be given to a complex practical case related to subjects that have been the object of study in the Master's degree. ii) an academic modality in which a legal problem or analysis of a subject or question related to one of the subjects of the Master's Degree must be presented. Within this second academic modality, students may develop their Master's Final Project in accordance with the general academic modality, based on the general topics proposed by the subject coordinator, or in accordance with the specific academic modality where the student proposes, by him/herself, a specific topic previously agreed by the student with a tutor who, however, must be authorised by the subject coordinator. Each student enrolled in the Master's Thesis, regardless of the modality chosen, professional or academic, will have a tutor, who will be one of the coordinators or lecturers participating in one of the subjects of the Master's Degree. In the case of the specific professional or academic modality, the tutor may be an accredited professional with sufficient experience despite not having a PhD degree.

TRAINING ACTIVITIES -Individual work to the study of theoretical and practical materials. -Tutorials. EDUCATIONAL METHODOLOGIES -Critical reading of texts recommended by the course teacher: press articles, reports, manuals I academic articles, case law, good for later discussion in class, either to expand and consolidate the knowledge of the subject. -Preparation of drafts or preliminary versions. -Public defense must be done individually. The use of artificial intelligence tools is permitted, provided that they facilitate but do not replace the personal research work of the student, who must assume authorship and be personally responsible, before the Tutor and before the TFM judging Tribunal, for the methodology and results of the research resulting from his/her TFM. However, if the use of AI by the student gives rise to academic fraud by falsifying the results of his/her TFM, the provisions of the Regulations of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid for the partial development of Law 3/2022 of 24 February, on university coexistence, will be applied.
