To carry out the Master’s dissertation (TFM), the student has:

A specific subject of Legal Research Methodology, compulsory follow-up, which is taken at the beginning of the academic year, to teach you research techniques.

A follow-up in tutorials every 3 weeks with the module coordinator throughout the academic year, to control methodological issues or in the form of scientific research.

A periodic check with your director for substantive issues, always an expert in the field of knowledge, who can advise you on specific issues that complement the module coordinator.

A tribunal made up of three professors for their evaluation, ensuring that they are never the director of the TFM, and guaranteeing that they have specific knowledge on the branch of knowledge of each TFM.

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.

AI Usage Policy: For this module, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for activities specified by the teaching staff. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total grade penalty, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.Once the evaluation has been communicated, a review may be requested so that the Professor explains to the student the applied criteria (art. 114.3 UAB academic regulations), without prejudice to the student's rights to challenge the grade.

The date of the public defense is scheduled in the exam calendar of the Faculty.

The scheduling of the evaluation tests cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation act cannot be carried out. In this case, the people responsible for the degrees, after consulting the teachers and the affected students, will propose a new schedule within the corresponding school period (art. 115.1 Calendar of evaluation activities, UAB Academic Regulations)

It will be considered that a student who participates in any of the continuous evaluation activities will no longer be eligible for a “non-evaluable” status.

Committing any irregularity during an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or the improper use of AI—unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus) that could lead to a significant change in the grade will result in that activity being graded as a 0. If multiple irregularities occur across assessment activities for the same course, the final grade for that course will be 0. Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits such irregularities.

This subject/module does not provide for a single evaluation system.
