Final Master Project

The main aim of the Final Master Project (TFM in Spanish) is for the student to develop a project in the field of environmental engineering, applying the knowledge and skills acquired during their training.

Through the Final Master Project, the aim is to simulate a professional activity in the scientific, technical or management field, thus allowing you to complement your academic preparation.

This subject, with the largest teaching load in the programme (18 ECTS, equivalent to approximately 3 months of work), requires the student to agree on a topic to work on in collaboration with a professor from the degree programme (academic tutor) and, where appropriate, with a professional tutor from the business or administration field.

The Final Master Project represents the student's final specialisation project, in which their competences in a specific area of knowledge are applied and demonstrated.
