No requirements neded
The student carries out a pilot project in basic or applied research in a research laboratory or in a chemical company laboratory and must demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge and skills acquired during the first part of the Master
See methodology section
In the specialty "Advanced chemical research", these practices will be carried out in a research laboratory of the Department of Chemistry of the UAB under the supervision of a professor who will act as tutor or in a Research Institute under the supervision of a member researcher of staff with recognized experience. The supervisors will issue a report at the end of the stay that will be used by the Coordination Committee for the evaluation of students. The tasks that will be carried out by the students will be the learning and the practice of analysis and synthesis techniques in a research laboratory.
In the specialty "Chemistry in industry" these practices will be carried out in laboratories of chemical companies. Each student will have a supervisor at the company who will guarantee the progress and quality of their work and issue a report at the end of their stay. This report will be used by the Coordination Committee for the evaluation of students. Also the student will have a university supervisor who will guarantee the quality of the final written report. The tasks that the students will be carried out will be the learning and the practice of analysis and synthesis techniques in an industrial chemical laboratory. Students have guaranteed up to a minimum of three interviews with different possible companies interested in hosting the student during the development of the experimental credits of the master's degree; from this moment on, if the student has not managed to be admitted by a company, he will be also responsible for finding a company where develop these credits.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The ability to develop a correct activity in the laboratory, to write a correct report and to present and discuss the results will be taken into for the evaluation of the student.
The final grade will be obtained from:
- 50% The Oral presentation and discussion
- 20% The Manuscript written quality
- 30% Final report of the activities carried out by the student provided by the thesis supervisor or tutor.
VERY IMPORTANT: Partial or total plagiarising will immediately result in a FAIL (0) for the plagiarised exercise (first-year students) or the WHOLE subject (second-, third- and fourth-year students). PLAGIARISING consists of copying text from unacknowledged sources -whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text - with the intention of passing it off as the student's own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student's own text. Plagiarising is a SERIOUS OFFENCE. Students must respect authors' intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
