The TFM (Trabajo de Fin de Máster, Master Thesis) is not a subject comparable to the rest of the modules or subjects, but it is key in the master. This subject is focused not only on the learning of the student, but also in its ability to demonstrate and defend it through the accomplishment of a specific work on one of the subjects chosen by the student, according to a teacher-tutor. The work will be carried out individually or exceptionally in a group of two people, with the permission of the director of the Master. To guide the student in the choice of the subject of his TFM, the professors will propose specific topics of work for their choice. PROCEDURE FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE TFM Detailed below are the steps to be followed for the presentation and defense of the TFM, once finished, and having agreed his presentation the tutor and the student: 1. The direction of the master will establish the dates of presentation and defense of the works through the academic calendar of the master, and will communicate to the students the deadlines of presentation to attend a concrete call. 2. The courts shall be appointed to evaluate the TFM in each convocation according to the following criteria: -The court consist of 3 professors of the master or, failing that, professors of the departments that participate in the teaching. -The courts are appointed following the random criterion of the order of the first surname, on an alphabetical list with all the teachers of the master. -A court will not evaluate more than 5 TFMs. 3. The student will confirm the presentation of his work to the direction of the master and upload two identical copies in PDF of the work in the learning platform (AG, Aula Global): - A copy, in the Turnitin delivery activity, created for each call. - Another, in a normal delivery activity, as a backup copy. The court shall have access to both copies from the delivery of the TFM to the date of its defence. 4.
