TFM | Facultad de Medicina

The Master's thesis (TFM) involves the student carrying out a project, report or study in which they apply and develop the knowledge acquired within the Master. The work must be oriented to the application of the general competences associated with the degree.

During this period, the student will learn to design, develop, and present a research work, starting not only in the research processes but also in the learning of specific techniques and teamwork.

The assignment of the tutor and the subject will be made by mutual agreement between the tutor and student, who will submit the application for presentation of TFM (Appendix 1) to the Academic Committee of the Master. In the event that a student does not find a tutor through this route, they must inform the Academic Committee (mimce@us.es), never beyond the deadlines stipulated for the receipt of applications for presentation. The application for presentation of the TFM duly completed and signed by the student and the tutor must be delivered to the Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine before December 19, 2025.

Students are required to complete their TFM within one of the research areas assigned to the Master's programme. These areas are published annually, along with the tutors assigned to each area. The work must be completed individually and supervised by the assigned tutor. The tutor assigned to the student will be a university professor with full teaching capacity and an active line of research. Their function will be to guide and supervise the student during the completion of the work, ensuring compliance with the set objectives. In exceptional cases, and with prior authorization from the academic committee of the Master, a co-tutor may be assigned. Works directed by non-affiliated personnel must be co-supervised by a a master’s professor.

The TFM can be developed through a mobility programme, an exchange agreement with another university, or a collaboration agreement with another entity. It can also be developed through complementary co-tutelage activities.

The TFM can only be evaluated after the student has passed the other subjects in the master's programme.
