The student can enroll in theirBachelor's Degree Final Projectonce they have completed 160 credits; of which, compulsorily, all those corresponding to the first year. However, it is recommended to enroll in the last year of studies of the Degree.
The Bachelor's Degree Final Project is a work that must allow a global and synthetic assessment of the specific and transversal competences associated with each title. The main objective, according to the memory of the degree of History, is the accomplishment of a work of synthesis (bibliographic analysis or essay) or documentary, of any subjects of the degree.
Students will have a teacher who will guide the work and tutor them during the elaboration process. The project must have an original character and it will be done individually. Students must demonstrate that they have achieved the competences and are able to apply the basic learning outcomes acquired during their academic training at the Faculty (critical reasoning, effective written and oral communication, high degree of autonomy in bibliographic research, as well as in the elaboration, argumentation and defense of the project, etc.). The Bachelor's Degree Final Project must be a fundamentally academic work, not a research project in the strict sense (this is reserved for the Master's Degree Project.)
Bachelor's Degree Final Project consists:
- Development and presentation of a topic that allows a global and synthetic evaluation of the basic and general competences associated with the degree of History.
- Search of bibliography, their selection and critical analysis of the specific literature of the chosen subject.
- Approach of the theoretical framework, hypotheses and conclusions.
- Written and oral presentation of the project.
Bachelor's Degree Final Project will has an extension between 30 and 34 pages (2,100 characters / page); that is, between a minimum of 63.000 and a maximum of 70.000 characters (including spaces). This extension include: tittle, index, summaries and (of a maximum of 900 characters, including spaces, in the draft language of the project and in English), 5 keywords (in the draft language of the project and in English), contents of general text, notes, bibliography and annexes with maps, illustrations or documentation. Use Times New Roman 12. Bibliography and notes must be referenced with The Chicago Manual of Style, which is available here.
The minimum and maximum extensions must be respected exactly by the students and not fulfill them may involve non-evaluation.
Programming of the subject.In spite of being a semester subject, given the public presentation of the project at the end of the second semester, the timeline is annual. The tutorial sessions will be held throughout the academic year. During the year, the degree coordinator will convene a series of meetings to explain the objectives of the work to be carried out and the procedure for assigning the tutors. The final version of the Project will be delivered to the tutor (2 printed copies) and also in electronic format. Last day to deliverate will be as the maximum date on 31 May 2021. On the same date, the student must upload in moodle a copy with pdf format. This will serve as an official certificate of delivery.
Choice of tutor and work. Student can choice the topic of the project. Students may also request a specific teacher from the History degree course for his tutoritzation. The teacher will have the final decision to accept, or not, the tutorship of the project. There are, however, some particular limitations in the number of projects that can be assumed by each teacher. These limitations will be communicated during the informative sessions. The degree coordinator will be who officially communicate the topic and tutor asigned.
Tutoring sessions.There is a protocol for the development of the tutorials where there is planning tasks for students and teachers. There will be at least four tutorials:
Before the oral defense of the Bachelor's Degree Final Project, the tutor will have to give guidelines to the student about the development of this act, with recommendations on the best way to do the oral presentation.
Each of these sessions will have to be certified by signing a form that the coordination of the degree will provide to the tutors. The attendance of the students to these four minimum tutorials is obligatory. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the non-evaluation of the Bachelor's Degree Final Project.

In accordance with the protocol of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, the evaluation of the Bachelor's Degree Final Project in its written format and in its public presentation will be in charge of a commissioncomposed of two professors.
The commission will be approved by the coordinator of the degree of History, at the proposal of the tutor. One of the members can be the tutor who has directed the Bachelor's Degree Final Project. The final qualification of each Bachelor's Degree Final Project is established based on the following percentage:
◦ Orality: suitability of the way of explaining the project;
◦ Exhibit resources: aptitude in the choice and use of exhibition resources;
◦ Structure: clarity of ideas and the time used, the rhythm of discourse or the appropriate gesture;
◦ Interest: importance of the work and its results.

Qualification of Registration Honored: A grade of 9-10 is an Excellent qualification. The final grade works evaluated with Excellent, which are proposed to a maximum grade of RH will be considered by a new specific commission. This commission will decide to award the RH rating in accordance with the administrative provisions. The committee will examine the work, as well as the reasoned and valuable report prepared by the tutor.
The work that has not be approbate by the tutor, or that does not meet the minimum or maximum formal extension requirements or that has not delivery in the dates and formats established will be considered "Not evaluable."
Any work that fails to meet the minimum timetable for tutorials or has not gone through the public exhibition during the assigned date will also be considered "Not evaluable".
