Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
The presentation of the TFM can be made once all the credits of the study plan have been obtained. Exceptionally, it may be possible to present it in the absence of finishing the Academic Practices in a Company.
Objectives
The purpose of the Final Master's Thesis (TFM) is the realization, presentation and defense of an original work consisting of a project of analysis, design, development and evaluation related to some of the subjects in the study plan, under the direction of a academic tutor. The student must carry out an original project, memory, study or investigation in which the knowledge and skills acquired in the master's degree are projected, proposed or developed. Basic skills: CB6: possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a context of investigation. CB7: that students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ¿¿study. CB8: that students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, include reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of your knowledge and judgments. CB9: that students know how to communicate their conclusions and the ultimate knowledge and reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous manner. General skills: CG2: ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of development or creation of software for financial markets. CG3: ability to apply the knowledge acquired and to solve problems in new and little-known environments within broader contexts and multidisciplinary, until being able to integrate this knowledge. CG4: ability to prepare adequately and with a certain originality written compositions or reasoned arguments, to write work plans or projects. Specific skills: CE1: understand the main concepts related to financial markets. CE2: analyze and evaluate the main information and communication technologies applied in the financial sector. CE3: participate in the development of financial software, from its conception in the analysis phases, to its implementation in integration with other systems. CE4: implement classical algorithms and techniques of financial markets following the standards and procedures established at the time. CE5: analyze and understand the main tools for handling large amounts of data, their storage, access and review.
