Prerequisites

You can do the TFG if you reach the fourth year of the degree.

It would be interesting that the previous course the students already began to think about the subject, looking for topics and possible tutors.

You can contact the Coordinator if you have any questions about the topics and/or your tutor.

The general protocol of the Faculty of Arts on the TFG can be found here: https://www.uab.cat/doc/Protocol-TFG

Objectives

The studies of the Humanities Degree must conclude with the elaboration and defense of a final project (6 ECTS credits). This project is included in the complementary fourth-year training that the student has to study, along with the 54 optional credits corresponding to the last year of the degree.

The unique training objective is the elaboration of a research, synthesis or applied work, that has a relation with the subjects of the degree.

Learning outcomes

  1. Relating the artistic creations from various periods with other cultural phenomena.
  2. Indicating and discussing the main characteristics of the of a period and contextualizing them.
  3. Interpreting today's main events from physical, economic, social and cultural diversity.
  4. Recognising the most appropriate bibliographic databases in order to obtain sources of a specific issue.
  5. Communicating in a clear and appropriate manner an academic work.
  6. Interpreting the main political and social currents of the Modern and Contemporary Period.
  7. Organising with efficiency and profitability the autonomous part of the learning process.

Contents

The work represents 6 ECTS credits. This means about 150 hours of work that most of the students must do independently.


VERY IMPORTANT: In the Degree of Humanities, the monitoring of the TFG and the contact with the tutor is done through the web: tfe.uab.cat obligatorily.


There are different types of work so that students can demonstrate their intellectual and work skills:


1. A research work to get started in this task.

2. A state of affairs on a particular topic, based on a bibliographic repertoire.

3. A work that collects documentation worked to show the reality of a topic.

4. A personal essay on a particular problem.

5. Work on a professional aspect of the institution or company where the external practices have been carried out.

6. The work can be specified in more innovative formats, such as the elaboration of an audiovisual documentary or the preparation of a web space (accompanied by a brief written report that supports them).

7.A response to a social or scientific challenge, at a level accessible to an undergraduate student.

8.Etc.


The student can choose any topic he/she wants related to the Degree of Humanities.

He/she can also choose as director any professor of the Faculty and professors of the Degree of other faculties.

If the student does not know which professor is a specialist in the subject of his TFG, he can ask the TFG Coordinator to advise him on the choice of a tutor.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Public oral exposition of the project. 40% 0 0 2, 4, 5, 7
Process and assessment by the tutor of the finished project 60% 0 0 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The monitoring of the TFG is done through the web tfe.uab.cat

The evaluation has different parts:

1. The follow-up of the TFG by the Coordination.


2. The follow-up by the tutor who has guided the project and represents the most important part of the final grade (60%). The evaluation criteria that must be taken into account are: on the one hand, the final result of the work and, on the other, the process that the student has followed in its preparation, always with the approval of the Coordination. In this evaluation, competences related to work capacity, to the resolution of difficulties, learning in research methodology, planning, concretion of results, aptitude in writing and effectiveness towards a well-done job are valued.


3. The oral presentation: public exposure made by the student in front of two teachers. Each presentation of TFG has an expected duration of half an hour, of which 15 minutes must correspond to the oral presentation prepared by the student.

Two professors that will be chosen according to the subject of the work and the availabilities of the teaching staff will form the examining board.The professors may require identification from the student, who must prove their identity through their student card, DNI, NIE or passport.

The tutor will not be in the examining board.

The presentation will take place during the last week of June or the first week of July.

This evaluation will serve to exercise the skills related to the exposition of a subject: make it comprehensible to anyone and know how to express it in an appropriate way. The ability of the student, the suitability of the way of explaining himself, the talent in the choice of the resources he uses, the mastery of the subject, the ingenuity in the way of posing it, the sufficiency in making it affordable and the ability to convince of the importance of the work and its results.

Approximate calendar (it will be indicated in a more specific way through the application from September/October):

- October-November: tutoring to establish the objectives and structure of the project.

- December: delivery of some pages corresponding to a state of the art.

- March: second delivery.

- May: delivery of the body of work.

- 2025, June 15th: deadline for the delivery of the finished work with conclusions and with the corrections proposed by the tutor. The complete project must be delivered through tfe.uab.cat

- End of June/beginning of July: public exposition.

Assessment dates can’t be changed unless there’s an exceptional and well-justified reason. If a student has a documented chronic or acute illness, they can request to postpone the assessment, if it fits

within the academic calendar. These requests must be submitted at least seven days in advance and include the required documentation. If the reason is an unexpected situation considered force majeure, the regulations allow the request to be submitted after the scheduled date, provided the documentation is delivered within three working days. This includes situations such as the birth or adoption of a child, or the death of a partner or a close relative (up to second degree). In cases of illness or other circumstances, the documentation must clearly show that the student was not in a condition to take the assessment at the scheduled time. Teaching staff may also use their discretion to consider other circumstances not explicitly listed above.


-In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.


-Students will obtain a not assessed/not submitted course grade if they don't submit the final written TFG.


-This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations, where applicable. In the case of TFGs in Languages, any use of translation must be specifically authorised by the teacher. Other specific situations may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher. The student must clearly:

(i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology;

(ii) specify the tools used;

(iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.


-This subject/module incorporate nor single assesment neither reassesment.

The grade "Matrícula de Honor" cannot be achieved.


-Projects with a total grade above 9 may be made public through the UAB Digital Document Repository, provided they receive authorization from the student, tutor, and coordinator.
