Prerequisites

The UAB establishes two requirements for registering a student for the TFG:
 
1. To enroll subjects in the fourth year of undergraduate studies, the student must have completed at least all first-year courses.
 
2. To register for the TFG, the student must have completed at least two-thirds of the total number of ECTS of the curriculum (ie 160 credits).
 

Objectives and Contextualisation

In accordance with article 12.7 RD 1393/2007, October 29th, which establishes the official university education, the Degree Project must be oriented to the evaluation of the competences associated with the degree.
 
The Degree Project has its own elements based on the evaluation of the competences in which the Degree of Labor Relations is framed. The main formative objective of the subject is that the student relates in a transversal way the diverse subjects of the degree. On the other hand, it is a subject that evaluates in a very substantial part the ability of autonomous work by the student.
 
The bulk of the different training activities of the Degree Project are grouped under 4 more specific: Directed, supervised, autonomous activities and, finally, evaluation activities. The weight of autonomous activity, as described above, is decisive.
 
The Faculty of Law grants the maximum academic importance to the Degree Project and considers that it is an adequate means to increase the quality and the requirement in the grades assigned to it by the Faculty.

Content

In the Degree Project students have to do research on a relevant topic in the field of labor relations, agreed with their director.   

The Degree Project has to start with some basic questions on the agreed subject with which the hypothesis is fixed, propose a suitable methodology to analyze it, synthesize the results of the research carried out and conclude with some conclusions.   The Degree Project allocation system is specified in 1) the information meeting that takes place at the beginning of the course from the academic coordination of the subject and 2) the document with the indications for the realization of the Degree Project, which is published through the page web of the Faculty and in the corresponding moodle classroom.

 

Methodology

The director of the TFG, once the students'request is received , will carry out 4 compulsory tutorials that will be compulsory for both parties. At the initial tutoring, the director will fix the topic with the students and will suggest a minimum of bibliography to start working. The other two follow-up tutorials will serve to guide the students' work. Finally, in the last tutorial, the director will suggest the final modifications

The tutorials must follow the following schedule: 

1st tutoring: october

2nd tutoring: december that necessarily includes a partial delivery of the TFG (Index, Objectives, Bibliography) in the Moodle classroom with a copy to the director.

3rd tutorial: march

4th tutorial: in may, before the final delivery 

The completion of these tutorials on these dates will be mandatory to pass the subject. 

To ensure compliance, the follow-up sheet must be filled out, available to the tutors in the Moodle classroom and on the Faculty of Law website.

The tracking sheet will collect the contents and commitments assumed by the student. At the end of each of the sessions, the director and the student must sign the follow-up sheet.
