Objectives and Contextualisation
The master's degree dissertation constitutes a compulsory module (15 ECTS) within the proposed master's degree studies. In general terms, students work individually, under the guidance of their assigned tutor, on a final project that may or may not be experimental in nature, depending on its stated aims, and which must deal with a topic that is directly related to transfusion medicine or cellular and tissue therapies
At the end of the module, students write a dissertation on the work carried out, which they then go on to present and defend orally, by video conference.
The examining board assesses students' ability to devise, implement and present a final project, basing their judgement on the dissertations submitted and how these are presented and defended orally.
