Class Thesis

In this curricular unit, the doctoral student develops the research work for the conclusion of their thesis to be presented in public examinations.

Not applicable

Depending on the topic chosen, the content is adapted to the demands of the research work. However, in this first year they are considered to be transversal to all students: methodology of research work, which includes research procedures and the rules for preparing scientific work; norms of referencing and scientific writing; drawing up a Scientific Work Plan, which guides the student in the research to be carried out for the thesis; principles of academic and scientific integrity and truth; introduction to scientific work.

Tutorial guidance, dedicated to each situation and duly adjusted to the research to be carried out, in order to guarantee the student the ability to carry out research autonomously, is the methodological basis. Assessment is carried out by the supervisor. As there is no PhD course, and the 1st year Thesis is a stage in the process, the final classification will correspond to the result of the public defence of the thesis (3rd year), with the following requirements (1st year) being a mandatory condition: Presentation of a Scientific Work Plan validated by the supervisor; Monitoring report (annual) which includes the research activities carried out, participation in scientific and dissemination events, scientific articles published and the organisation of events, as well as participation in research projects in coordination with the research centre.
