Basic competences: CB6, CB7, CB9, CB10 General competences: CG1, CG2, CG4, CG5, CG6 Specific competences: CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4, CE5, CE6, CE7, CE8, CE9, CE10, CE11, CE12, CE14, CE15, CE16

1. Implementation of the techniques and knowledge acquired during the master to a specific research problem or challenge. 2. Foundations of the scientific method. Hypothesis formulation and detailed analysis of novel methods. 3. Dissemination of research results. 4. Presentation of results and conclusions. The Master's Thesis can be either theoretical or practical and should be structured in the parts that are deemed appropriate by the supervisor. It is susceptible to constitute a Ph.D. thesis proposal in order to access the Ph.D. Programme of Departamento de Matemáticas.
