The Bachelor's Final Project (TFG) will be developed through four mandatory tutorials. These tutorials serve both formative and evaluative purposes, as they are intended to assess the learning outcomes and competencies demonstrated in the TFG.

The development of the TFG can be divided into three phases:

I. Initial phase, during which the project is defined and planned.

II. Development phase, in which the work is carried out.

III. Finalization and closure phase, which culminates in the submission of the written work and an oral presentation lasting 10–15 minutes, delivered to the academic supervisor and, if possible, also to the reviewer.

TFG Submission

The Bachelor's Final Project must be submitted as a single document in the designated TFG space within the Virtual Campus of each degree program.

In all cases, failure to submit the TFG by the deadline will result in a grade of “Not Submitted”. For more information on key dates, please consult the TFG administrative calendar.

The Faculty has provided a mandatory 2-page PDF template, which includes the cover page and the cataloging form for the TFG in the UAB’s Digital Document Repository (DDD). All final projects from the Faculty, including project-based TFGs, must use this template.

All Bachelor's Final Projects graded 8 or higher will be published in the DDD, in accordance with UAB’s institutional open access policy (approved by the Governing Council on April 25, 2012). However, for reasons such as data confidentiality, the intention to publish the TFG in a scientific journal, or any other reason, students may choose not to make their TFG publicly available. In such cases, a permanent or temporary embargo (12 or 24 months) may be requested by indicating this in the public communication rights release form, submitted along with the project proposal form at the beginning of the academic year. Embargo requests can also be made later by contacting: bib.comunicacio@uab.cat. The annual deadline for embargo requests will be published on the Faculty website.

Note: Fifteen minutes of one class session, within the time frame established by the center/degree program, will be reserved for students to complete evaluation surveys regarding teaching staff performance and the course/module itself.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment of the Final Degree Project (TFG)

The TFG will be assessed by a supervisor and another lecturer from the same department where the TFG is registered, with the following weighting: 60% of the grade will be given by the supervisor and 40% by the reviewer. A final average of 5 or higher (on a scale of 10) is required to pass the TFG. An oral defence of the TFG before the supervisor is mandatory for it to be assessed. Failure to present the defence will result in a \"Not Submitted\" grade.

The Final Degree Project must be submitted before the deadline set in the TFG procedures calendar, except for exchange students who have different submission dates. In all cases, if the TFG is not submitted by the due date, the grade will be \"Not Submitted.\"

The general evaluation criteria for the TFG are available on the Faculty’s TFG website.

Review procedures

As with any other subject, students may request an ordinary review with their supervisor. This review must be personal and individual, and must take place before the deadline indicated in the TFG academic calendar. After the review and upon hearing the student’s arguments, the lecturer may choose to maintain or modify the grade.

If the student disagrees with the outcome of the ordinary review, they may request an extraordinary review. This will be conducted by lecturers who have not participated in the ordinary review or in the grading of the TFG. Students have a period of fifteen calendar days —starting from the closing date of the TFG grade records— to submit a reasoned request to the Academic Management Office of the Faculty, indicating the specific aspects of the TFG that they believe were not properly assessed by the supervisor or reviewer. Note that claims without well-reasoned justification for a new review will not be considered. Incoherent, unjustified, or poorly argued requests will be dismissed. The extraordinary review will be carried out by the TFG Assessment Committee, following the Faculty’s procedure for extraordinary reviews in other subjects.

Resits

According to Article 261 of the UAB Academic Regulations, the Final Degree Project (TFG) and the Master’s Thesis (TFM) are excluded from the resit process.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The TFG/TFM supervisor will determine whether the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is permitted in the TFG/TFM, depending on the specific case and type of project, as well as in which phases the tools were used and for what purpose (e.g., initial phase —source searching; writing phase —spelling and grammar correction, generation of tables and visual representations, etc.). Students must clearly identify which parts of the work have been generated with such technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and final result of the TFG/TFM. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in the final project will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
