Development and implementation of a methodological and technical solution for an actual specific need of an application, product or service with geospatial content proposed by an external organization (company, government or institution).
The Master’s Degree Dissertation is based mainly in the student autonomous work, which includes the practical work of development and implementations, bibliographical and documental search, and the writing of the formal report od the Dissertation as well as the material support for its oral presentation.
Autonomous work is complemented by directed activities like tutorials and supervised activities for testing and quality control of the project results. Directed and supervised activities are carried out by the academic tutor.
The activities that could not be done onsite will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools. Exercises, projects and lectures will be carried out using virtual tools such as tutorials, videos, Teams sessions, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
